Worked with Jesse at Aerojet in 80's and early
90's. Enjoyed many years eating fresh vegetables,
and best ever watermelons and cantaloupes from his
and Rita's stand at Johnson City Farmer's Market.
Dearest Rita, please call me in a few weeks and we
can catch up a little. Thoughts and prayers are
with you and your family.

I enjoyed knowing Jessie at Aerojet and the Farmers market.
It was always a pleasure to talk with Jessie. I missed him at
the Farmers market the last couple years. He always had a
smile.
