It´s hard to believe it´s been 5 years since Bill has passed away. I still think of him with a smile. He was a kind man and a wonderful friend. Although there there were nearly 35 years difference in our age, we became the best of friends. I miss our weekly dinner outing in Apple Valley at Las Brisas. Bill and I had that standing dinner for years, nearly right up to his death. He was and is an inspiration for hope, kindness and an example of a truly good man who would always help others. His company is missed and his friendship will always be cherished.

Dr Jacobson was such an amazing doctor and person. I worked with him and he taught me so much encouraged me do more for myself. He was such an inspiration and the reason why I furthered my education to the same school he went too. He treated his patients like they were his family. I think about him all the time We miss you dr j!

My Brother, my friend, my Doctor and most of all the one person that never gave up. The trips to Cedars for you check ups every year then to dinner. The chats we had. Thim and I doing what we could to help you as your health slowly deteriorated. We were always glad to see you for dinner, the birthday party we had for you and the daily phone calls and chats we had. I truly enjoyed helping when I could and will never forget how you were so caring about me and Thim. Everyday I think about the person you were. "Cadillac Bill" as we joked many times and the great comradery we shared from our days in the U.S. Navy even though they were years apart. One of the last things you told me that morning of the 20th when Thim and I dropped by at DVH was, "It was a great run." We will never forget that moment and it was a very touching moment just the three of us say goodbye. We loved you dearly. You were definitely family to us.
