I have great memories of Jake when he would come to Texas to visit his brother Jay. He was a sweet man and a great brother.  He always called every weekend to talk with Jay and it made his whole week better.  It was wonderful to meet the whole family just recently and I love you all very much.  My prayers are with you always.  
Love 
Angi Young

I will miss seeing Jake in his yard. What a lucky family you are to have been blessed with his love for 96 years.

I have great memories of Jake from Dawson Lake. He and his wife are one of the sweetest couples you could ever meet. I don't think Jake knew a stranger, he would and could talk to all. RIP Jake, you will be missed. To the family, I am so sorry for your loss. Jake was a wonderful man and loved all his family dearly.

I remember Jake and his wife.  I delivered Sunbeam Bread to them at Dawson Lake. Great hard working folks. Signed! Edward Shierry

Jake was the best bus driver I ever had! I told him that about 25 years ago and he always remembered. He was the only bus driver I had which made it funny and we got a chuckle out of it again a few months ago when I stopped by his house.  He was smiling and laughing which made the visit so special and memorable.  He was a great man and will be missed by all.

So sorry to hear of your loss.  I have good memories of Jake growing up

What a wonderful obit for Uncle Jake, who will be missed by so many.

So sorry for your loss.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

May the memory of loved shared comfort you in the days ahead.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss.  The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
