Most Rev. Thad J. Jakubowski

Still in my prayers and forever in my heart! God Bless You and Rest in Peace

I just saw this o/b...Bishop Jakubowski was one of my professors at Quigley. Although he appeared to be severe, he was a gentle, kind man. He pushed me hard to use my brain, but had a knack for knowing when to ease up. When I decided to leave Quigley, he went out of his way to encouragement and guidance. This was a good man. I've never forgotten him.

I will always have fond memories of Bishop Jakubowski. He was a kind and funny soul. I will miss him dearly....

Thanks for all of your kindnesses to me and my family.

Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you as your dentist. We shared many laughs in spite of my drilling! Thank you so much for officiating at our 50th wedding anniversary (and helping my family to keep it a secret from me until Mass started!). Our family will truly miss you.

Sincere condolences to the family. Teacher at St. Ann, mentor, confidant, friend - Father Ted was all of that to our family. I hope they have fried chicken wings in heaven. Rest well.

I met father jake when he was at st Robert and I was an officer at the Gladstone bank. although we were of different religions, he would always come into my office to say hello and listen to my stupid jokes. he wanted 50.00 in new pennies for a birthday gift and he asked me to get it for him I told him I would try and if I couldn't get new pennies, I would give him a bag of old pennies and a can of brasso. he laughed and I was able to get the new pennies. although I haven't...
