Alan Perry Jacobs

I only just found out about Alan's passing today (7/28/19) and was so sorry. He produced a movie I wrote and directed for CBS in 1991, called AN AMERICAN STORY. I loved working with him; he was such a talented producer and a really good man. We had a lot of laughs together, and he and Lynn had just had their daughter, who he was over the moon about. He was wise and decent and kind and we needed more like him. He was also a true New Yorker. I was blessed to have known him.

I met Alan Jacobs only once, at a splendid dinner party in Chapel Hill. Lynn made a heavenly soup and the warmth and energy around the table was extraordinary and most memorable, especially the enthusiastic and interesting questions and stories asked and told by Alan.
Mes condolonces. Rest in Peace. Love to you and to Alan's beautiful daughter, Joy

Very sad to hear. Always a good friend with a good heart and wonderful mind. A great family man-I will miss you

So sad to read this, but grateful to have known Alan during his time in LA. He was such a kind, wise soul whose simple presence filled a room with warmth and trust. Love to Lynn and Keely,

Lynn, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Alan's warmth and kindness.

Everything was better when in Alan's
presence. He was smart, generous, kind & loving in every way! Anyone who crossed his path knew that they were touched by a very special
human being! xoxoxox

Alan and I played many a round of golf.
It was always surprising how much fun we could have though neither of us had a lick of proficiency. I joined him on the links yesterday. There he was, always a laugh and a smile as we muddled through.

I so loved working with Alan in the Film Department at California State University, Long Beach. My condolences go out to his family. RIP Alan!

I cannot think of another man on earth who would not benefit from becoming more like Alan as a human being. Always more interested in what was on your mind than telling you what was on is... warm, compassionate... the blueprint... a gentleman, and a truly gentle man. Wherever great souls go... he is there.

I knew him for over 50 years, and can't imagine not seeing him again. Being in his presence filled me with joy. He was a singularly important influence on me, and I loved him. I miss him terribly. Please accept my deepest condolences.

It was always an enjoyable experience spending time with you, Alan. I truly wish there were more times then there actually were. You will be deeply missed by many. But, I find some relief in knowing you no longer suffer at all now.My condolences and prayers are with the family now. I hope you guys can find at least a hint of some peace and comfort in the sorrowful moment. God bless you all. Abe.

Alan's accomplishments are many and great, but his warmth as a human being surpasses all of these. He was bright, kind, friendly, funny and compassionate. I, sadly, did not spend enough time with him, but enough to appreciate these superlative qualities. I can only imagine the hole his departure has left for his family. My heart goes out to you all.

Alan sorry we weren't able to connect too often but you are still very missed and we hope and pray for the comfort of those closest to you.. RIP

We knew and loved Alan as a wonderful friend, father and husband. We will always miss him.With love- Timmie and Christopher

Such a tremendous and untimely loss. My deepest, sincerest condolences.

Will always cherish Alan'a smile, twinkling eyes, and soft, loving voice. On to the next great adventure, dear Alan. May we be so lucky to join you in due time. Towny & Jodee

Alan shaped my eyes and soul; he will forever be integral to how I approach the world around me.

Alan was one of the most wonderful human beings I have ever met. He was a friend and mentor. Alan encouraged my creative adventures and always made himself available to help. Lynn and Kelley I will always remember the good times we all shared. My deepest condolences. May he rest in peace.

Love,
George
