Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. May the God of all comfort be with Balian family during this difficult time. Exodus 6:3

March 21, 2019

My whole life I have loved my Uncle Jacques. He was the sweetest and kindest Uncle to me and my siblings. He often visited us in California. Every visit he would fix something around my parent's house. And, then when I had my own house, he would come over and fix things there. He loved being helpful and spending time with family. He had a great laugh and sense of humor. And, a great intellect. My mother and I would frequently reach out to Aunt Yvonne to ask Uncle Jacques for medical advice, especially about prescriptions, vitamins, etc. He was always there for my family. I am happy Bruce, Paul, and I got to see him one last time on a recent trip to Chicago. I pray that my Aunt, Jackie, Roxanne, Mike, Jennifer, and Ned draw comfort from their memories of a man who cherished each of them and was loved and appreciated by many. God bless you, Uncle Jacques. See you on the other side. Eva Denegri Baker, Petaluma, California
