Joe Jennings was one of the sweetest boys at school, back at Baker High. If only I’d known he lived within a couple of miles of my house…..I’d have loved to see him again. “Rejoice in your Heavenly reward!”
Oh, so sad to hear the news of Joe’s passing. I remember how much I looked up to him when I was a small child. I always thought he was strong and brave. I was so proud of him when he played for LSU. The world will miss Joe, his kindness and compassion – we can always use good souls like his. Prayers for the rest of the Jennings family. Rest in peace and find comfort with your loved ones in Heaven with you. Until we meet again….
I knew Joe at Baker High School. He was smart, polite, handsome, and a gifted athlete. The Class of 1972 had some great students. Joe was one of them! I wish we could have gotten to reaquaint as adults. Rest well, Joe!
