I send my condolences to his family, and friends. Jake, (in the Army he was known as Jake), was my best friend. We did everything together. He was always helping me work on my 64 Chevy. He is the only one who kept in touch out of all our Army buddies. I knew his heart was broken when Sandy passed. I am sorry I did not sign the guest book sooner, as I just found out. Rest In Peace my Brother. Cya soon.

Tom, I can't even begin to tell you how I loved our conversations. They didn't always start out on a "happy" note because of issues with the benefit insurance, but they always ended up with a smile. I will miss you dearly, but I know you are happily in the arms of your wife now.
