I served with Jesse, as he was affectionately known, in the same mess on HMS Fearless and his loss was an immensely sad event to all of us who knew him. He was a great character who loved his rugby; somewhat of a gentle giant. There were others on board who had known him a lot longer than me and hopefully, at some time in the future, someone can give him a greater epitaph than I ever can. RIP shipmate!
Family and friends are encouraged to contribute.
We will add information to this memorial as we receive it.
If you have a photo, an anecdote, or simply to say you remember him, we will be very pleased to hear from you, so please contact the sama office at [email protected]
