Obituary
Send FlowersSteven "Jake" Jacoby was a vice president and chief operating officer of the second largest wireless communications company in the United States. He didn't act like it.
"He knew everyone's name. He was everyone's friend. He never shut his office door," said Tim Dietz, spokesman for Virgina-based Metrocall, the company where Jacoby had worked since 1994.

Jacoby, 43, was on Flight 77 on his way to a wireless communications conference in Los Angeles.

Jake was my dad's boss at the time of the horrific attacks. My dad always spoke highly of him and were terribly sad of his loss.

Thank you, Putnam family, for remembering Jake and naming your beautiful dog in his honor. It is a gesture that would have pleased Jake greatly. Your kindness has touched his family, and hopefully there will an opportunity to meet you and thank you personally in the future. Kim Jacoby Dudgeon.
