Harold Vincent Jacobs

Vince and I were in Young Lawyers together, when he lived in his houseboat, and practiced law in the same community for the next 40+ years. He always had a kind word to say, which is rare in our profession. Although I never fished with him, we swapped fishing stories often and with minimal exaggeration. All were so happy for both of them when he married Cecilia. He will be missed but not forgotten.

We had the honor of knowing Vince for many years when he was president of our Fly Club California Fly Fishers Unlimited. He always had a welcoming smile and freely shared his fishing and life experiences. He shared his remarkable life with us for a short time, he will be remembered for his accomplishments & friendships. I was amazed by all he did after having heart trouble. He could overcome anything & made our world a better place.

When one looks in the dictionary for the definition of "Vincent Jacobs", as he was know to all of us fellow fly fishers, here is a partial definition: gentle, kind, supportive, smart, kind, generous, positive, and diverse. Vince was an innovative leader, open and supportive of newbies to the sport and art of fly fishing, and mostly a very giving man. Tim Au-Young

I was very sad to read of this passing. Vince was a daily customer at my bakery, muffins, etc. almost the whole time it was in existence. I enjoyed serving him and getting to know him. I remember Vince as a kind, gentle and intelligent man. May his memory be eternal. Gail Kelly Robards

Vince is one of the most open, generous, real, supportive and life-loving people we´ve ever had the privilege to know. We are grateful to have nearly two decades of memories of Vince to treasure.

We loved Vince and miss him. We have 20 years of wonderful memories to savor.

Vince was a fine human being, curious and caring in all aspect of life. My heart is with Cecelia, Ryan and Amy, Jane, Don, John, and Jeong-eun. John Mounier San Francisco & Los Angeles
