It was my pleasure to know you, and share many fun times together over the years. You've been a very good friend, and will be missed by many. Good luck to you in your next adventure. Save a few places for me and the gang so we can have breakfast together any day we want. My deepest condolences to Bob, Steve, and other family members. With love, Greg.

Brian and I have such wonderful memories of Jake. Jake was my classmate starting in 5th grade and for Brian the memories started in high school. He was such a great friend with a kind, gentle soul and marvelous sense of humor. He will surely be missed by so many. Condolences to Bob and his family. With love, Brian and Cathy

Jake and I were life long friends from grammar school until now. We had a lot in common and enjoyed talking and laughing about our past lives in Haverhill. I am saddened at his loss but I know that he is no longer in pain. He is at peace. God Speed old friend, I will never forget your gentle soul.

Jake exhibited all the qualities one could want in a friend and co-worker. Jake loved his visits with his brother's family, his nephew and nieces. My thoughts and prayers are with Bob and all his family.
