Condolence: To this day, every time I hear of an earthquake, I think of Mr Jess and 7th grade science class. Like so many other students at Turner Middle school, I consider myself so very lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from him. May you find peace and comfort knowing that the wonderful memories you have are, in part, shared by they many people who's lives he touched.

Condolence: Dear Martha, Rich, Tom, Alice, and Jackie,
Hugs and prayers to all of you for healing with the loss of your spouse and dad. There are so many good memories of good times at Turner Middle School with John, Martha, and his children. John was always up for a good time and had a bit of mischief in him that always kept us laughing. The one thing that I remember the most about John was how he always found the heart and soul of so many and looked beyond their actions. He was a life-long teacher with so many talents to share with others. He will be missed by many but his joy for life will life on in his family, friends, and students!
