Charlie was also a volunteer fire fighter for the old Delta Fire Department, which has merged with the Woodbridge Fire District.
He was blessed with a wonderful family, his wife of 60 years April (Schafer) Jacobs , a son Charles and daughter Ronda Leonard (Tim), three beautiful grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
No services are planned. Memorial contributions may be made in his memory to Hospice of San Joaquin: 3888 Pacific Ave. Stockton, CA. 95204

For the past three years while walking my dog every morning I would see Charlie driving by me on his way to his store. He always stopped and asked how I was doing. He usually said something funny to make me laugh. Charlie had a great sense of humor and I miss seeing him on my walks. My thoughts and prayers are with April and Charlie´s family.
