Jesse McCrary, Jr. was a personal friend. I am sad to hear of his passing but his spirit is always felt. He used to call my Mom a lot to just joke around or to talk to a friend. They had been friends since 1965 when they were both taking the Florida Bar Examination, and they have been friends ever sense.

One day, Jesse sent my Mom lunch from Joe's Stone Crab. She was shocked that he would Fed Ex her lunch.  Now, my mother, my father and me are hooked on Joe's Stone Crab claws ever sense. My parents even Fed-Exed me lunch for my birthday this year from Joe's Stone Crab. So whenever I eat Joe's Stone Crab, I think of Jesse.

He was a civil rights pioneer, a husband, brother, son, father to two beautiful daughters and a great friend. His legacy will never be forgotten. Thank you, Jesse, for your life for you always made me smile whenever I knew you were around. Now, I feel your spirit is watching over all of us.

May God bless his family, extended family and friends who are grieving during this time.
