John JACOBS Obituary

JACOBS John Alan (Jake) of Montgomery, died on July 27, 2008. He was the beloved husband of Moya Jacobs, loving father of Stephen Jacobs, Susan Dohm, Bill Jacobs, Ed Jacobs, Liz Reaney, and Penny Jacobs. Jake also leaves behind 13 grandchildren. He was a graduate of Caius College, Cambridge University and Westminster Hospital in London. Jake was a well respected anesthesiologist who began his career in England and went on to practice and work in Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia and in Nigeria during the Biafran War in the 1960's. He eventually settled in Cincinnati where he practiced for over 20 years. He lead a long and colorful life and will be remembered for his unique sense of humor and his many, many stories that will be shared and laughed about, amongst his friends and family for many years to come. Those of you who knew him will understand his ongoing and favorite saying, "God Bless the Prince of Wales". A private Mass is being held for family and close friends. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the Hospice of Cincinnati, Blue Ash would be appreciated.
