Dear Jacobs Family,



It is with great sadness today that I learned of Harold's passing away. I will always remember his remarkable sense of humor, devotion to family, and the wonderful times we shared growing up as neighbors on the same street in Lincolnwood. We all share in your loss, but are also grateful to have been able to share a small portion of Harold's warm and giving life.



Sincerely,

Steve & GiGi Wernikoff & Family

Dear Jacobs Family,

We were very sad to hear of Harold's passing and deeply sorry for your loss. I remember all the great times when I was young and living on Kedvale. Harold and all of you were a great part of my life. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

To the Jacobs family, My deepest sympathy on your loss. You may not remember me but I remember you very well. Eugene, You and I were great childhood friends and attended Bryant school together. Annie, I loved when you used to make scrambled eggs for me. I remember Harold telling me to "look up at the sky" as he painlessly took a huge splinter out of my hand. Again my heartfelt symapthy.
