I am so sorry to learn of Jake's passing. He was a very decent man and a great superintendent. It was a pleasure to work for him during my time in Victoria.

Dear Eva,
So very sorry to hear about the loss of Jake. What a great guy he was! And thank you for putting the notice in the Victoria Times Colonist. It prompted a long discussion between Susan and me. We shared some decidedly colourful reminiscences!
Being superintendent of a school district means you have to be a gymnast, balancing a high standard of education with reasonable costs. That is always difficult. Jake proved to be an accomplished athlete. The contests we had around the board table were demanding and invigorating, and I learned so much! Wish you could join us for a natter. You were such a great pair!
Kindest regards,
Janet Baird

Jake was an excellent colleague as a fellow Superintendent of Schools. We all missed him when he moved to Alberta. My condolences to the Longmore family.

When I arrived in Oliver, BC in 1947, Jake was my first teacher. He was very young and enthusiastic. He was a dedicated teacher and certainly served the BC and Alberta teaching systems with distinction.
My deep sorrow to Eva and the family for the loss of a great man.

Eva, This will take you back to Oliver days! John sent me Jake's obituary, as he lives in Calgary and hopes to attend your reception on the weekend. What a fabulous man Jake was. You, his greatest love and supporter, have my deepest sympathy for his loss.
I immediately flipped back in my memory to having you for a swim at Grannie & Grampie Tait's pool when you brought an Australian, Tony Madigan, (a boxer, I think) to visit Oliver after the (then called) British Empire Games, in Vancouver! . I also think of you often when driving on Henderson, towards our home in Gordon Head, seeing your house there. My first memories, though, are of you singing in the Oliver Choral Society with my parents, Alex & Stanley Bertram, directed by Harold Ball! You had a fabulous voice.
Jake has every reason to Rest in Peace. I hope you are healthy and that you can continue to enjoy your lovely family for many more years. Love, Diana (Bertram) Denny. [email protected]
