We met Jake when we were out for a ride looking for an apartment right after we were married in 1975. We spotted an available townhouse on Brookdale Rd. in Salem and a tenant sent us to Jake's house. He was so nice, and smily. He showed us the townhouse and we lived there for four years until we bought our first home. I bumped into him occasionally over the next decades and he was always just the same. Super nice guy and always with a lively conversation and smile. I know everyone will miss him dearly.

I didn't know his family but I met Jake when he invested in Sandy Oaks RV Resort. He was a funny guy who always spoke of his love for his family. So sorry for this news.
