I'm one of the lucky ones that, had the pleasure of working and knowing Brother Jesse Hooks during his time at the Post office. We also did a few things outside of work too, we bowled in the P.O . league and we went out on ocean to fish for those blackish too. Jess was one of the good guys he'll surely be missed. Rest in Peace Brother Hooks. My Sincerest Condolences too the Hooks family.
