loved his hometown of Pittsburg. His many friends joined together almost every day for 
coffee and fellowship.

He is survived by his brother James B. "Jim" Hess and wife Glenda of Dallas; a sister: 
Martha Hess Whitehead and husband Laughton of Longview; one niece and three nephews, 
and many dear friends.
