Forever in our hearts, The Means, Jones, and Storey Family Eutaw, Alabama.
My deepest sympathies to Jesse’ family and friends. I worked with Jesse at Fmc corperation in Middleport. He was a solid guy and we’ll liked by his coworkers. I used to see him in Lockport mostly at the otb from time to time and enjoyed talking with him. He will be sadly missed and in my thoughts.
