In Loving Memory of Richard Jacobs
It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard Jacobs, who left us far too soon. Richard was a cherished family member-a beloved son, cousin, uncle, nephew, godfather, friend, coworker, mentor and partner. His warmth, kindness, and vibrant spirit touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Richard was also a respected leader and visionary in his field, serving as Global Director of Distribution at Amphenol for more than 25 years. Throughout his lifelong career in electronics distribution, he played a pivotal role in shaping the industry. His contributions to -- were immeasurable, creating lasting value for the company and leaving an enduring impact on colleagues and business partners alike.
Richard lived life to the fullest, embracing every moment with passion, laughter, and love. His generous heart, infectious smile, and unwavering support left a lasting mark on all who crossed his path. Whether through heartfelt conversations, acts of kindness, or the simple joy of his presence, Richard made the world a better place. He loved recently dividing his time between NYC, Sag Harbor, and Florida.
We invite all those whose lives Richard touched to share their cherished memories, stories, and reflections as we celebrate his remarkable life.
"Richard lived and did not just exist". Rest in peace, Richard. You will be deeply missed and forever loved.

I met Richard when he came to work at Amphenol Aerospace and he was a man of immediate impact. His superpower was his ability to connect with people and make them feel seen. His success at work was undeniable but soon our business relationship expanded into friendship. We worked together for nearly 30 years and spent countless business trips and dinners together. He was at my kids' graduations and weddings. We spent time together in Florida and we could always count on Richard for a great meal in NYC--even though he still loved his simple Nathan's hot dog. Richard lived a full and successful life and there is no better legacy of the way he lived that to look at the relationships he built.

Rest in peace, Richard. Thank you for the great memories: visits to New York and Long Beach, Hello Dolly on Broadway, winery trips, pot luck events, and great conversation. I look forward to seeing you again on the other side. Steve

I worked for Richard during my tenure with Amphenol. He was a very understanding manager and was very helpful to me during our time together and I appreciated all that he suggested. I am very sorry that he left us so soon. My sincere condolences to his family at this time.
