Al, your brother sounds like a great guy! Both my dad (49er season ticket holder) and I should have known him. May you, his wife and all of the family be comforted among the mourners of Jerusalem and Zion.

Prayers for Larry on All Souls Day. Larry will be forever missed be me and his devoted poodle Clipper. Clipper would sing/howl for Larry when church bells rang. I could talk to Larry for hours about the city. He was a kind, fascinating, adventurous man who enjoyed life to the fullest and had a great sense of humor.

The loss of Larry Jacobson is much like a loss of a family member for me. Larry was a kind and caring individual. He planned with GREAT detail many of our "Never Miss a Super Bowl Club" functions. For seventeen years we have
met during Super Bowl Week. Life will not be the same without Larry. Our sincere condolences to Jonell and family - Rest in Peace my SUPER friend.
