To the Manata family and extended. Val and I extend our deepest condolences to you all. Being there last night brought back some recent memories of the passing of my mother a few months ago. This is a very emotional time losing a parent. You will have a lot of support I can see from family and friends, and you will need them. If you need someone to talk to I am always available. Talking about the good and the not so good is part of the process I am learning. Lean into it. Remember, they are always with you, as spirit has no physical presence, it never has. When you weren´t together, you still felt him, the same now. Sending positive energy to you all. May God bless you all now and always.

Sharon, please accept my sincere condolences on your loss and convey my thoughts to Jakes two sons and their families. Jake and I grew up together and went to camp together as children, remained friends thereafter. He was my number one auto body and fender guy on more occassions than I care to remember! Rest in peace my friend. You're in my thoughts and prayers!

Hey Jake - Remembering good times at OBC - especially the last 50's dance when we jitterbugged! Had great times with Sharon at the pool too. You will be truly missed, especially for your sense of humor!
