Judge Yacobi's passing was sad news for the Pavlovsky family. Our families have been friends for many years. My parents and his celebrated their wedding anniversaries on the same day. His mother was a loving godmother to my sister and sponsored my own mother in her conversion to Catholicism. His sister sat for me and my sisters. His example while in school convinced my parents that St. Vincent School was the school for us. He was a great and generous person and will be long remembered.

I am so sad to hear Bucky is gone. He was a dear friend and real supporter of so many wonderful causes. I will always fondly remember the years we served together on the Board at Peninsula Catholic. (He always insisted we just call him Bucky). Many prayers and blessing to the family. "The Judge" will be greatly missed.
Blessings!
