Jesse was a free spirit, he loved the simple things in life. He loved the outdoors, whether it was fishing at the lake, or at the rivers, playing golf on the weekends, or going to the races. He enjoyed hunting for antiques, help restore old cars, or just watching TV. Jesse used to enjoy riding his motorcycle through the mountains in California, and camping out, star gazing was something he enjoyed doing a lot. He loved reading his paper everyday and doing the crossword puzzles and playing the Lotto. Jesse enjoyed exploring the Badlands, and watching lightening storms over the prairies.
