I'm proud to say I've known Jake since the mid 70's when I was a young Classified salesperson for the N&O in Raleigh. He was instrumental in my joining the NY Times Regional Newspaper Group and never stopped being one of most treasured advisors throughout my newspaper career. The fun times we had were many and I'm looking forward to seeing him again in heaven!

It was our great pleasure to live next door to Jake and Liz in the past few years. Jake taught us the grace of a welcoming and sharing neighbor. We so appreciated his friendship and generosity, lively conversation and shared meals. Our hearts are with Liz, his devoted and delightful football sidekick. Their love for each other was inspiring. Our lives are enriched and our hearts full with your memory. Our deepest sympathy to all the family. Cheryl and Jon Schleuss
