I will truly miss Mr. Jesse. I always enjoyed discussing books, current events and life in general with him whenever he came into the MIdway library. I loved his sharp wit and opinions and his gentleness under the gruff exterior. He was the highlight of my day whenever I saw him. I am so glad I got a chance to meet him. He will be greatly missed.
