Bill and I knew Jake through Rotary. He embodies the spirit of "service above self." So glad he had you, Diane, and the joy you shared. Sincere wishes of comfort and sympathy.

I met Jake 16 years ago as the Free Clinic was just getting started. He had been part of the beginning of the nation's original Free Clinic in San Francisco many years ago. He was a board member for Shenandoah Free Clinic. Even in his final and weakening months, he showed energetic interest and support of a new venture to bring more health care to area children. We will all miss his passion for bringing health care to those in need!

Dr Haun was a rare man. So very intelligent. His life was full with truly interesting stories and accomplishments. He embraced education, involvement and changing things for the better. Most importantly, he taught "community" to all who knew him. He loved Shenandoah County and showed a responsibility to leave it a better place. I think he did just that! Our sincere prayers and thoughts are with the Haun family.

Jake lived on Main Street and I lived on North Street Our back yards were in the Trotter's orchard and the railroad tracks. We had some great times just being boys. Climbing rail cars on the siding, gathering up fallen apples to make our own cider and working with all the sets he had in their basement. He was a teacher and friend that never faltered over our years of separation over the year. Many will miss him.

Laura and my friendship with Jake and Diane go back decades. I always admired his intelligence, his openness, his politics and his accomplishments. He was also a friend our kids. He always called me by my proper name, Henry. We always could talk about ideas and life in a spirit of openness. I wish there were more people like Jake in our community -- his life truly has made it a better place for all. I wish to extend both sympathy for loss, and celebration of a unique life lived. We will never forget our good and longtime friend, Jake Haun.
