I always enjoyed stopping and talking to Mr. Jennette while he was walking his dog down Stevens road. He was always so kind and such a pleasant person to visit with.He was a part of the greatest generations of Americans ever. So glad I got to know him. He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Dear Joe, we remember you as a sensitive, loving father. You will be missed by all who knew you.

Joe’s sons Dorje and Paul successfully delivered their father’s ashes to the Navy base in Jacksonville late Friday afternoon, so that Joe’s final wish to have his ashes committed to the sea can be fulfilled. Several “stars” lined up just right to make this happen, including expedited coordination between the hospital and funeral home late Thursday; delivery Friday morning of a sand-based urn for sea burials; a safe & quick drive to Jacksonville; and a very helpful person from the Navy’s Burial at Sea program meeting us at the base entrance late that afternoon. We are especially grateful to Tholley Taylor and the folks at Lifesong funeral home for the timely and professional service they provided to make this all happen in time. The icing on the cake was that, as we delivered the ashes at the base, the Blue Angels were flying right overhead…
