Susie, Regina, Daniel, Gabriel, Jamie,and Roman. Your husband and father was a very special man. Every time any of us would see him outside or in the store he would always speak and say Hi! You all have been wonderful dear neighbors over the years. We were all very saddened to hear of his passing.

My day was always brightened when I saw Jesse and his wife shopping at Kohl's. I will miss the chance to see them there in the future. I was a stranger, but Jesse and Susie always said hi when they saw me. Sincere sympathy in this time of sorrow.

So sorry to hear of Jesse's passing. All of the Bermudez family were such good people. Jesse, Tony and Felix were the ones we were the closest to and now all are gone. Remember the memories. Violet Gottstein, Tecumseh, Ks.

We are all very saddened to hear of Jesse's passing. I have missed seeing him mowing the lawn, getting the mail and coming out for a short chat. He was a kind, gentle, and super nice person and I'm glad I was lucky enough to have known him, if only as a neighbor for he was the best kind of neighbor anyone could wish for. I also wish peace and comfort for all the family, I know you will miss him so very much. The Ritchie family, Steve, Marilyn and Michael.

Susie and family,
I pray that God comforts each of you during this trying time. Although he has left us, God has indeed received one great man, a fantastic husband, a terrific father, an amazing grand & great-grandfather.
If you were one of the many that were blessed to have crossed paths with him I need not say anymore.
I will always remember our long talks, as well as when he would flex and slap those biceps and laugh.
I will miss him dearly, but I know that I (we) will all see him when we ride that train known as the Union Pacific's Heaven Express arriving at St. Peter's Station on time and on a set of tracks maintained by him...
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Bermudez family, stay strong and lift him up as he would want to. It's hard to believe he is gone. He was a true friend as well as family to me too.
