My Sincere condolences for the Jessie Family. Pete was tall as the sky, a strong mountain of a man, and gentle as the breeze. Pete was one of the best men I have known in my life and how gracious I am that our paths crossed. He was very giving in his genuine kindness and was good to my grandmother. Thank you Pete for sharing your time with us here. If in the quiet of the day or night I hear the dogs in the distance I may believe I can hear you rabbit hunting in heaven. We miss you now and long to join you again one beautiful day.
I’m sorry for your loss I’m going to miss my old buddy Pete my prayers will be with all family.
