Jess Craig Little

I first talked to Jess at least 20 years ago, even before he founded 287AG. And I can still remember the first time he drove his truck to Mounds to pick up a load of fence materials. He was a customer that became a dear friend. I quickly learned that he was a man of his word, and his integrity was beyond question. Yes, he was honest, and yes he was beyond fair to his customers. So his success did not surprise me. Aside from business, what impressed me most was his love and fierce pride in his girls, You had to like man with a heart of gold. Jess loved to talk and I think back with fondness on the many discussions over the phone we had, sometimes lasting hours. We will miss you Jess. The World lost a good one a couple of days ago, but his wonderful demeanor, his principles and example will live on forever.
