Neil Jacobs

Uncle Neil was a loving, giving, caring person. One special memory that I have is when he drove all the way down to NC for my wedding by himself and gave us a very special gift that I will always treasure. He gave us his late mother's silver pitcher. My husband and I were so touched and moved by his thoughtfulness and generosity. That is the Uncle Neil that I will always remember. My thought and prayers go out to my cousins Shiela, Roger and Ray at this sorrowful time in your lives. I...

One day that really stands out for me was before my parents' 50th...

I enjoyed working with Neil at the ETV Center and the good times on Friday afternoons. He always did his best in doing projects assigned to him. I will never forget him.

The wonder of Neil was his ability to smile through the struggles that surrounded his life. He always met me with a smile and a "bad joke", the latest news on his children and grand children. His eyes would shine with pride when talking about his latest visit to see his kids.

From early on when I started at Cornell, Neil shared his breadth of knowledge and, what I found, joy of understand the various equipment he used at the ETV Center - helping me to make a better product.
