For the past ten years I have sat in "The Space" with the amazing John Jacobs and had so many wonderful and interesting conversations. We shared the same pagan spiritual beliefs, the same love for the arts, the same love for our local roller derby program, and had seen many of the same old movies. John truly cared about the arts community and "The Space 109" was his labor of love. He touched many lives and was so supportive of all of those in the arts. John Jacobs left a legacy and he will be missed and remembered by so many. "Do not weep for me for I have not gone. I am the memory that dwells in the heart of those that knew me. I am the shadow that dances on the edge of your vision. I am the wild goose that flies south at Autumn's call and I shall return at Summer rising." Author unknown

My Dear Friend John
So many lives you have touched over your lifetime.
I want to express my gratitude for all the enrichments you have brought to my life through my lifetime. Knowing you since since the 1980s and all the conversation and encouragement you gave to me inspired my life journeys.
You will be dearly missed by so many. Rest in peace my Friend.

John and I met in a science fiction class at UNI in the late 1970s. Since we were the only two smokers, the professor put us in the back of the class near a window. (Yes, there was a time when smoking was allowed on campus.) Soon we started going out for coffee after class and visiting at his bookstore. We stayed friends from then on. He called me Scooter, and I called him Wolfman.
Sometimes we didn´t see each other for years, but when we got back together, it was like no time had passed. We had lively conversations, and in the last few years, those often included my grandson, whom John made a special effort to get to know. John was a good friend & I´ll miss him.
