To Paul,Lisa,Blaine and Joanne I am so sorry to hear of Paul's Dad's passing. I never met him but I know he must have been a great guy by meeting his son and grandson who are great guys. I'm sure he is in heaven watching over you all. May he rest in peace.

What can we say about BOB? Or Sweet Robert as he laughingy called himself. When we moved to CT from FL he and Pat were the first to welcome us to the neighborhood and our friendship grew from there. He took pity on the stupid FL people and taught us to survive the cold. To spite his rough outwardly appearance his compassion and generosity were incredible.

Jake or "Chief" as we sometimes referred to him, will be greatly missed by myself and my little sister. I wish we had, had time to express to him how grateful we are for making our mom the happiest we had seen her in many years. I know she will miss you dearly and will be looking forward to seeing you again someday. You will always be dear to our hearts.
Love,
Kelly

Jake worked for me @ Nuwc from the being of his civilan carreer. He never once said in his 26 years no or I can't get it completed from the least signatent task to going to the North-Pole in the middle of winter with only a phone from me that he was need there ASAP! He truely had my blindsind side covered from day one! That is what a real man and friend DOES!
For that I say Aloha & BRAVO ZULU to my dear friend "JAKE"

I meet Jake in 1969, we served together on-board the USS Bluefish. I had the opportunity to inform him the day he made chief. We have stayed in touch ever since. I considered Jake my best friend. Bless you Pat for taking such good care of my friend and his family. Fair Winds and Calm Seas My Friend.
