Aunt Norma, and Christie, I am so sad that he is gone. I want you to know that Uncle Jake has always been my favorite Uncle. Lots of memories of all of us together, spending time at our "shack", or at Grandma's or at your house or ours. Such a big part of my childhood and beyond. Always looked forward to those times we could all spend time together. Remember the time you all came to the "shack" to see the streetlight come on for the very first time? It was the same day that Uncle Jake and his Line crew had installed that light, and had surprised us with tying our "shack" up! So many great memories. I will definitely miss him, and will always love him.
