I am the youngest of the Cousin's and have known Jake all of my life. He was always a war hero to me, serving his country in Viet Nam. I'm sorry to say, the last time I saw him and we talked was a number of years ago at a Cousin's reunion for all of the Umlauf Nieces and nephews with Jake's Mom and Aunt Lorraine. Our thoughts and prayers go to the family.
