Sad to hear of Jake's passing. Although we haven't been in touch for many years I went to school with Jake both at Lancaster Township Jr High and, later, McCaskey High School. My prayers are with your family in your time of loss.

I never knew Jake as a doctor as we were fraternity brothers at Rutgers in the late 60's. I never would have guessed that Jake would pursue medicine just as I am certain he was shocked I pursued law enforcement. Truly a Great Guy and Roseann, I am sure I speak for all at NuBeta Fiji our heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
