Richard Jacobs

Dearest Cary,
Where can I begin?

Dickie taught Myron to sail in a tiny little row boat at Dickies age of probably 8 or 9 and Myron a little younger. And they remained strong friends forever.

They were close as brothers.

If Dickie had moved into our community a bit earlier they would probably have never been apart.

Cary, my dear friend, be still strong,
With love and ciao,
Josie

I am so sorry to hear this. I first met him when I was a temporary assistant clerk in New Haven. Attorney Jacobs was a stalwart of the NH County Bar. I only met him a few times as a courtroom clerk. When I passed the bar, Attorney Jacobs called the clerk's office and asked to speak to me. I was nervous wondering why this established lawyer wanted to speak with me. He offered me his heartfelt congratulations on passing the CT Bar. I was floored and touched deeply that someone so established would take time to reach out to me. Thank you Dick for teaching a young lawyer the meaning of grace. Rest in peace.

I am feeling much sorrow on the loss of such a great Mensch as Dick for your Family, many friends, and community members.
Dick was a true Tzadik & anyone who was lucky enough to have known him will always miss the joy and benefits of having been a part of his life.
Dick will be granted a special place in heaven with Hashem
May his memory forever be for a Blessing for all of his Family

Just heard the news. Am away on the west coast and will not be back before Friday. Dick was surely one of the 36 tzaddikim who sustain the world.

I am so sorry for your loss. Richard´s was a very special man. So kind and loving. He always helped us out in so many amazing ways. Like giving us part time jobs so we could learn from him and make some money. He will be missed. I am sorry that I can not attend the funeral as I am not in the area. Love, Ned
