He will be buried with<br>military honors.jessestayThu, 19 Jun 2008 15:03:06 -0000http://staynalive.com/articles/2008/06/17/jesse-stay-no-its-not-my-name/#comment-708357Your grandfather is my great uncle. His older sister, Lorna, is my grandmother. Your grandfather was truly a great man and a wonderful example to everyone. My husband joined the church in Rosario, Argentina. I knew he served as a Mission president in South America, but never knew it was in my husbands area! You have an awesome name after one of the most awesome men I have ever met - even better that I'm actually related to him! Your family has truly been blessed by such a great and humble man. know he'll be missed by many. But now his real work begins!.Chris AndradaThu, 19 Jun 2008 13:34:14 -0000http://staynalive.com/articles/2008/06/17/jesse-stay-no-its-not-my-name/#comment-703838What an amazing tribute to a great man!

Makes me feel old!jessestayWed, 18 Jun 2008 09:58:11 -0000http://staynalive.com/articles/2008/06/17/jesse-stay-no-its-not-my-name/#comment-698421Thank you for writing this Jesse. I've told you before but my mom and dad planned on naming me after Grandpa if I had been a boy. They were so upset when you were born two weeks before I was and your parents named you Jesse first! It is amazing to look over Grandpa's life and see all of the good that he did. You are lucky to bear his name and I'm sure it's a great reminder about what is truly important in life.Marci StringhamWed, 18 Jun 2008 08:58:45 -0000http://staynalive.com/articles/2008/06/17/jesse-stay-no-its-not-my-name/#comment-694252Wow, he helped produce a lot of LDS classic films!

It reflects a lot of my memories from childhood as well. I only wish Grandpa could have met our Jesse III like he was able to with your Elizabeth.
