YOU KNOW JOEY, RICHARD, MATTHEW, RANDY, I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING TO YOUS ALL BUT WORDS CAN'T COME OUT LIKE I WANT THEM TO. ALL OF ARE UNCLES PLAYED A DIFFERENT ROLL IN OUR LIFES. BUT UNCLE JOE HAD THAT SMILE WHEN I WOULD WALK INTO HIS HOUSE THE WORD THAT STUCK IN MY MIND WAS HI BABY YOU WANT SOMETHING TO DRINK, EAT, AND WITH ALWAYS A TOWEL OVER HIS SHOULDER. YES THATS WHAT I REMEMBER. WERE EVER I SAW HIM WHEN HE WAS WORKING AND I WAS DECORATING FOR A WEDDING HE WOULD KISS ME AND INTERDUCE ME TO THE PEOPLE WHO WAS WORKING WITH HIM THIS IS MY NIECE ANNMARIE. HE WAS A WONDERFUL UNCLE TO ALL OF US I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE LOVE HE HAD IN HIS HEART. BUT THATS WHAT KIND OF FAMILY WE ALL CAME FROM. WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG OR SOMETHING HAPPENS ONE PHONE CALL ALL IT TAKES. AND WHEN WE ARE ALL TOGETHER YOU FEEL THE LOVE AND THE WARMTH WE HAVE WHEN WE ARE ALL IN A ROOM TOGETHERE. WHY BECAUSE THATS HOW OUR PARENTS BROUGHT US UP TO STAY CLOSE WITH EACH OTHER IN SAD TIMES OR HAPPY TIMES. AND WE ALL KNOW WE HAVE ALOT OF THE HAPPY DAYS AND MEMORIES TO KEEP WITH US IN OUR HEARTS. I LOVE YOU JOEY RICHARD MATTHEW AND RANDY LOVE YOUR COUSIN ANNMARIE.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the immediate and extended family of Joseph L. Jacob. I always enjoyed seeing Mr. Jacob at the "office" studying and sharing his insights. He was truly a special person, always a smile, win or lose.
I'll certainly think of him often and will smile as well... Joe Sarkees Sr.

Coach Joe,
Even though I only met your Dad once at the bowling alley, I know he had to be a wonderful person. I'm sure he is proud to have raised such an outstanding and caring son. I feel priviledged to have had you coach my son in baseball. My family sends our deepest sympathies to you and your family. May god Bless you all.

Joe,
I am so sorry to read about the passing of your father. Althought I never met him, I am sure that the apple did not fall far from the tree, and all your kindness was learned from him. Please know that I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

I am very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. Several times when I was with my mother, Ann Gazy, we ran into Joe at different places. He was always very nice and my mother always spoke very well of Joe. The last time I saw him was at my mother's wake in December of 2006 at Our Lady of Lebanon. May God Bless you all in your time of grief. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My deepest condolences to the Jacob Family.
I was very fortunate to have worked with Joe for a few years at the Red Coach Inn. Joe was a great mentor to me and it was a real joy to work alongside him. He was such a hard worker but always had time to smile and make you feel better. The whole place benefited when Joe was on the dining room floor. It has been such a very long time since we worked together but I remember his warmth and goodness like it was yesterday. Joe Jacobs was a prince of a man. My thoughts are with you in your loss.

I remember growing up on Patricia Drive and knowing the Jacob's. Joe was one of the friendliest and nicest men I ever met. I saw him so many times at bowling or the golf course. His locker was right across form mine. He always said hi and seemed sincere when saying it. He never left without asking how my family was and to say hello.
I was so deeply saddened by his passing. He will surely be missed and I will miss seeing him. God Bless. My deepest sympathy to the family in this time of sorrow.

Joe was the nicest 'angel' of a man I have met... I have known him for many years, and he always had a good thing to say and was genuinely happy to see you. He brought us lunch every Thursday at the office and rushed about, making sure everybody had what they needed. When my father was sick, Joe always took a moment to give me a container of soup and food to take to my mom and dad.
At our many parties through the years over at the Comfort Inn, Joe was always our bartender and we liked it that way. If you didn't know what you wanted, he would suggest something great.
Joe also quickly became 'family' to those he knew. He always made time to ask about the family, how the kids are doing, and he was sincere and you could see that cared.
I have missed Joe alot throughout his sickness, and I will miss his presence the rest of my life on earth. I know that my dad is up there and Joe will be welcomed by so many people who knew and loved him. Perhaps God needed someone to cater important events. I know that He needed another angel - and that's what He has with Joe.
To the family - I know how much he loved and boasted about you. I also know how hard it is and how much you will miss him. I don't have words to say that will make it better, because there aren't any. He was a wonderful, kind and caring soul... carry that with you because it is a gift. May God Bless each and all of you.... Your sorrow is truly shared my many!

I am so sorry to hear of this news. Joe was such a kind and gentle man. Each and every time I saw Joe, there wasn't a time he didn't come up and give me a kiss on the cheek and ask how I and my family were doing. We spoke often about his golfing and how he was looking to the weather breaking so he could be out there. Joe was a dear, sweet man who will be missed. My thoughts are with your family.
