His work trade was Sheet Metal Worker Local #359, later became superintendent at SMP Mechanical, and retired later in years with Local #359. Jess and Patsy opened the business of Rodriguez Income Tax, retired, and passed the business to their son Jess Jr.

Jess loved to listen to music and dance, he was a great dancer I may add!

He also had a passion for playing fast-pitch and slow-pitch ball, he was a VERY GOOD ball player! When he stopped playing ball, he picked up golfing.

Jess had so much love for his family, he loved the family parties and holidays where we all got together.

We will miss his sense of humor, and his views of life, he will forever be missed!
