I met Jesse well over 30 years ago. We used to sit and talk about some very deep subjects and he was always such a kind and generous person. He was definitely passionate in his stances. But you never had to wonder where he stood. Many years working with him and Jimmy as well. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers to the family. Steve Ragan
