Vicki and family. It is such a sorrowful time when someone you love, admire and respect leaves this world and yet a joy to know he is with our Lord. Such a precious man of God.

You have my deepest sympathy. Loving and praying for God to Bless each of you and hold you those times you feel you need him most.

Vicki and family,

Very sad to hear of Lamont's passing. We valued and enjoyed our friendship as neighbors and friends on Hallmark Ct. He always had a smile and offered love and friendship to us each time we talked. We offer you our deepest sympathy and our prayers during this difficult time.

I was so sorry to hear of Jake's passing. He was such wonderful, kind person and I always considered myself lucky to be in a profession with such an honest, hard working, competent colleague. I'll never forget how he welcoming he was when I began practice. He was a true gentleman. I'm sure many in our profession have learned so much from his happy, caring demeanor. We will miss him. Sorry we're not able to tell you this in person. I hope all of you can get through this and carry on. Sincerely, Jim Zettler

Im so sorry to hear of Jakes passing. He was my Sunday school teacher growing and my orthodontist. He was one of my dads best friends for as long as I can remember. Some of my fondest memories spent with Jake were on the Hilton Head golf trips we all used to take in his motor home. His sense of humor was second to none. He was one of the most awesome people Ive ever known, a true godly man. While we will all truly miss him, he is now in his eternal home with the Lord.

Vicki and Lamont were great neighbors on Windermere Lane. They hosted a "welcome to the neighborhood" gathering for Dan and me. I will always remember their kindness. RIP Lamont.

Vicki and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Dr. Jacobs was my orthodontist first, then my employer, and he was the best of both. When I saw him at an employee reunion just a few years ago, he remembered me as one of his first patients and called me what became my office nickname, Godzilla. My ability to handle a 100# drum of Ortho stone impressed him. Dr. Jacobs was kind, caring, thoughtful, spiritual, a comedian, and an outstanding employer! He even facilitated my new employment Kettering, Oh with Dr. Smith, when I married and left his office. I have wonderful memories of Dr. Jacobs.
My deepest condolences,
