Richard Jacobsen Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 18, 2012.
Jacobsen, Richard 61, of Bloomington, MN, passed away on November 15th, 2012. He was preceded in death by his father, Dale Jacobsen and his mother, Marguerite Jacobsen. He is survived by wife, Martha; son, Gustav; brother, Robert Jacobsen (wife Beverly); sister, Sue Hinkle (husband Jeff); as well as many nephews. He was successful in many aspects of life, though he focused primarily on real estate. He was a talented woodworker, loved to read and had a near insatiable thirst for knowledge and history. He was a man who stood by his word and lived with integrity. Even at death, his generosity continues. His wishes were to not only donate organs and tissues, but his whole body through the Anatomy Bequest Program at the University of Minnesota Medical School. Above and beyond all else, he was a good friend, a loving husband, and wonderful father. Those who had the honor to know him, are truly blessed. His life & his love will never leave us. There will be a Celebration of Life gathering held on Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012 at Pinstripes. 3849 Gallagher Drive, Edina MN. Service at 11:30 am, lunch from 11:45-1:30 pm.

Dear Martha and Gus ~ I have fond memories of Rick. His laugh, his mustached smile and that twinkle in his eye when he was amused by his son and his wife. :) The world has one less sparkle in it now. I really wish with all my heart I could be there to celebrate his life with you all. You are a very special family to me. I love you very much.

Martha and Gus - We are so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He is a great guy. We are blessed to have known him. Praying for your family. He always made us laugh. While we say goodbye to him others on the other side are saying welcome home. He loved you very much and will be greatly missed. :( Marty and Sheryl

Martha and Gus:
I am so glad we had the opportunity to get together "up north" this summer. You have our sympathy and we hope that good memories will bring you peace. I am so sorry to miss the memorial service.
From your lifelong friend, Martha, and Bob too.
