Not sure what to say?

To my dear cousins and their families: I don't have to tell you how special Uncle Jake was. Part of his charm was making everyone feel special...whenever he saw me, it was always, "how you doing babe?" Big and tough on the outside, he was a marshmallow on the inside. I remember LONG ago family reunions with Uncle Jake and my dad chasing each other around and one of them always ending up in the lake at Tall Timbers, or they would compare (false) teeth. I hope your happy memories lead you...

Sincere sympathy for your loss.

jake,
sorry to hear of your father's passing. my parents were very fond of him and always spoke highly of him. it's sad that all those great, hardworking men that would gather at the brooklyn and share their stories are all gone. bill smith, jack weiland, john mari, jerry gintz, jake korns, and the rest of those good men have left me with alot of good memories. if we can be as cool as they were, then we will have accomplished something.

I am very sorry for your loss. God Bless your family.

I had the pleasure of working with Jake for 25 years. Those were the glory years at the plant. He was always a joy to be around. There was never a dull moment when Jake was on your shift. My condolences to your family. Dave Prince
