Jesse (Jesús) and Pauline
Uncle Jesse and Aunt Pauline had some very interesting lives. From Uncle Jess’s early days working/growing up on the farms and playing several sports in high school to his amazing career in business (which included helping any number of family members with jobs and more), he truly represented the American dream. And part of that story is how the two of them met (with a Latin flavor!). Please click on the links below to find out much more about their lives.

It was always fun to visit Uncle Jesse and his family! Such a kind and gentle man who my father (Uncle Danny) always looked up to.

I totally agree with Dean, Uncle Jesse was my Godfather, I have so many wonderful memories with him at his house and at the Farm! And I to look up to him my whole life! He was a great role model for me! 🎂❤️🩹

I always thought Uncle Jesse and Aunt Pauline were so Glamorous.
I loved during the summer staying with them for a week, when they lived in Mt. Clemens, (I think). It was so much fun!
I remember that huge pool.❤️🌹🙏

(referring to a photo) This was in our back yard around 50 years ago. you see Jesse with a baseball glove. We were often throwing a baseball or football around, or bouncing and shooting a basketball when we were together. Jesse was a star athlete in high school in all those sports and I idolized him and tried to emulate him when I was growing up but was never as good in them as he was. He also provided me with the goal of getting a higher education out of High school. He went on to get a job as an accountant for a company and eventually became its president.

(referring to a photo). This photo was of a visit from Jesse and his family when we took them to the farm of a good friend of ours, a veterinarian called Dr Eversole. Not only did he have a swimming pool, but horses as well, including boarding Helen’s horse. Jesse was a star athlete in high school in all those sports and I idolized him and tried to emulate him when I was growing up but I was never as good in them as he was. He also provided me with the goal of getting a higher education out of High school. He attended the Walsh Institute of Accounting and went on to get a job as an accountant for the NuCar releasing company and eventually became its president. When I was in College, he got me a job in that company for a short time so I could get some spending money.
