I haven’t known Jesse for as long as some, but from the first meeting considered him a friend and an “adopted” brother. Jesse loved pool, and that’s where I met him on a Thursday night at The Glad Rags Saloon. It was immediately apparent from the way he greeted me, a total stranger, that although he loved pool, he loved people even more. Everyone who knew him was lucky, and will miss him.
