Judy, Jason, Jeremy and my high school buddy Jill,

I'm so sorry to hear about Jake. I remember practically living with you on Birch Street in Bellingham, WA. I have wonderful memories of Judy and Jake and the loved they shared with one another.

You are all in my prayers.

Judy, Jason, Jeremy and Jill and family,
I was shocked and saddened this morning to hear the news about Jake. I will always remember him as a guy who could always muster up a smile even on the most stressfull day at work. I also credit him for providing me with a means to pay for college. I'm not sure I would have been able to do it without the opportunity to work for him.

With a heavy heart and prayers for all of you,
-Arlen Klamm
