So sorry for your loss. Jakob marked the trails in Norwood and helped maintain them, even though he was not a resident. He was one of the kindest and most interesting people I ever met and obviously loved his family. He will be missed.

Franke Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. In the short time I knew Jacob thru the NYNJ Trail conference he was a fount of knowledge and experience which he readily shared with me.
I will miss walking, working and laughing with him on the trail.
RIP; Jakob.
