had sensed he was struggling bravely with this long cancer bout
very sad to read this
he never said peep
. he just went on as long as he could

 That is Jess Jackson.  Wonderfully said.

I wish I could post the picture of Jess at this kj link.

I never realized Stonestreet was his middle name.

bless you
i feel so badly he was climbing a glass mt last summer
when all were celebrating his rachel.alexandra
. made me weep-he loved the spectacle of it all

blessings for the holidays to you and your family
i think you are going down to sacred territory
please put me in your pocket
i will miss you all
i have my work cut out for me here..
sigh.. tap tap tap klipity klop---

Thank you Jess Jackson for playing the game your way.

For calling out injustices when you found them.

For the thrills you gave us with Curlin and Rachel and all of your stars.

For giving Rachel her run at immortality.

We witnessed your love of the game and the sportsmanship and graciousness you extended.

You will be missed.
