My Dear Friend Wanda,
Luther & I were saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Jake. He was a gentleman & a class act. It was so obvious how much he loved and respected you. He will truly be missed.

For all the family, my heartfelt sympathies at this sad time. I remember Jacob's first day at Sr. Fit Exercise when a bad shoulder brought our paths to cross in Burtonsville. Over the past couple years most of our conversations centered around our cars, old and new. I only learned about Jacob's passing this morning at class, and I will certainly miss seeing him there.

All his buddies from Priasner Recreation Center Senior Fit Class will truly miss him in his regular spot. We will miss seeing him strike a pose doing his arm curls with weights tow. God speed we know he is in a better place.
