Jake was married to my childhood friend, Debbie. After her passing I still received a Christmas card from him and always enjoyed our chats when we ran into each other at the Huntingtown Post Office. A lovely man. My sympathy to his family.
Brian,Leah and family. I’m so sorry for your loss. I worked daily with Jake for several years. He was my mentor, my good friend, had the respect of all who new him…what a kind, caring, gentle man!!! It was truly an honor to have called him my friend. God bless him and your families!!
