To the family of Ben Jacobson: My grandfather, Hyman Quint, lived at the Steger with Ben. Ben was such a sweet man, never complaining, always a kind word for everyone. My grandfather, sadly passed away last October. He was friends with Ben and admired him greatly. He always gave candies to my kids. He will be greatly missed.
