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,

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.
