Ron and family,
I can't explain how the news of your father's passing escaped my knowledge. Bob and Rich were there at church, but I just didn't connect it to Jesse. Partly because I'm dull witted sometimes, but I think partly because I considered your dad indestructible.
Opening up our pool every year is one of my least favorite chores, but talking with your dad while he topped off or filled the pool was always a memorable experience. The stories, the local news, anything he shared was interesting and full of wisdom, along with humor. I will miss him :(
Please forgive us these later condolences, and know that our hearts grieve with yours even now. Sorry we missed the opportunity at the calling hours to express our love face to face.
Love and grace be multiplied to you through our Lord and Savior,
Dave and Bitzy Roeder
