He worked at Holmes Limestone, Hardy Coal, and Miller Mining, where most of these years he delivered fuel to the equipment and earned his nickname "fuel Jake". He was a hard worker and good provider for his family. He enjoyed yard work, gardening, and spending time with his family. He and Nora enjoyed spending time in Florida during the winter months and were almost inseparable in their later years. He was baptized, married and was a longtime member of Pleasant View Mennonite Church where he served as Elder, Sunday School teacher and was faithful in praying for his pastors and church family. He was a kind and loving father and grandfather.
