He was well respected and was a mentor to many. He was well known for his jokes and storytelling keeping us all entertained. For many years he and son Paul would attend the Indy 500 race. An avid reader of mysteries and thrillers, loved watching movies, enjoyed golf, bowling, college basketball especially MSU Spartans, but most of all the University of North Carolina Tarheels. For many years Mondays were reserved for golf with his buddies or breakfast, especially with his longtime friend Joe. Jess was a dog dad to Daisy, Sandy, Molly, Maggie, Jake and Sophie. But he had a special bond with Finn who would sit with him in his recliner and visited him in the hospital laying with him in his bed. Jess was a Sir Knight and proud member of the Knights of Columbus and was humbled and honored to serve with his brother Knights which helped to increase his faith in and relationship with God. He was comforted in knowing that he would be with the Lord when he left this earth and no longer in pain, but was sad to leave those he loved behind. We have the comfort knowing that he is pain free and at peace in the arms of our Lord.
