We are so sorry to hear about Jake's
death. Jake was a great painter who enjoyed being a part of the morning coffee group at Don Sands. Jake was always
smiling. He was kind, personable yet very professional. Rob & Jane Rahsman

We are so sorry to hear about Jake's passing. He was such a kind and friendly man. He always took the time to talk to us and ask us how we were doing and if we were keeping busy with our painting business. He took great pride in his work and he always had a smile on his face when ever we seen him anywhere. He will be missed by all that knew him. RIP Jake !
