Patrick C "Pat" Jessup
Alfred
January 28, 1968- June 21, 2010
Patrick Charles Jessup was born in St. Marys, PA on Jan. 28, 1968. He graduated from Alfred-Almond Central School in 1986 and studied several years at the State University of New York at Alfred, and at Florida Keys Community College, before dedicating himself to aviation as a career.
Since the age of 4, Pat always wanted to be a pilot. He earned his Private Pilot's Certificate, his Instrument, Commercial and Multi-Engine ratings, and Certified Flight Instructor ratings. He continued his accomplishments by earning a CFI-Instrument rating followed by his Airline Transport Pilot rating. Pat was a charter pilot and a flight instructor for Sterling Airways at the Hornell Municipal Airport for over 20 years, recently being appointed Chief Pilot. He was also a crop duster for several years. A good friend and a well-respected pilot in the aviation community, Pat had nearly 8,000 flight hours, and some 3,000 of those were instructing. Pat's level of experience and skill as a pilot was known by all, and he taught many local pilots how to fly. It was in 2007 that his future wife, Lise Lemeland, began flight instruction with Pat.
An avid gun collector, Pat enjoyed hunting and target shooting in his free time. He was married to Lise on July 18, 2009. Pat and Lise spent three intensely happy years together before his fatal accident: flying together, target shooting, and enjoying each other's company- they were inseparable. Pat's loving personality easily and quickly won the hearts of his three stepchildren, Mateo, Santi and Elis. His new family adored him and will miss him profoundly.
Pat was the son of Charles and Linda Jessup of Alfred Station, NY. In addition to his wife, stepchildren and parents, Pat also leaves behind a sister, Nicki Dodge, brother-in-law David Dodge, and niece and nephews, Christopher, Kimberly, and Justin; a brother, Bryan Jessup, Bryan's partner Jenn Walsh and her daughter Riley, and nephew Christian.
The family will be present to receive friends on Sunday (June 27, 2010) from 12-2pm at the Bender-Brown & Powers Funeral Home 354 Canisteo St Hornell, where funeral services will be held at 2:00pm with the Rev. Ken Chroniger officiating. Burial will be at Alfred Rural Cemetery.
