I talked with Allen Shrun last week and learned the sad new that Jess had passed away. Jess was one of a kind, someone with a tremendously big heart, genuine smile, loyal, giving and fun to be around. Though I hadn’t seen Jess in many years,I will always remember his bravery, as one night during our youth, he was my knight in shining armor when he intervened, possibly saving my life. RIP and when you see Merle, tell him that I love him still… ~ Pinky (Cheryl)
