Hey Jacob, you know if it was not for you Dino and me never would of met. We always thought we would see you again and that you would get big laugh at how much Josh is talking, since you did tell us one day he would and it would drive us crazy. We loved you bro and will miss you forever! Thanks for all the good times and for being our friend. Yeah, gone, but never forgotten.

I said no Jacob you are so easy going and good hearted. Now I have wait when I see you in heaven to tell you are a bone head. Thank you for all beautiful memories for being great Uncle.

So sorry to hear of Jacob's passing. I first met him at Sullivan many years ago and ran into him off and on over the years. He was kind and friendly. My sincere condolences.
