Thad Jakubowski Obituary

Still in my prayers and forever in my heart! God Bless You and Rest in Peace

I just saw this o/b...Bishop Jakubowski was one of my professors at Quigley. Although he appeared to be severe, he was a gentle, kind man. He pushed me hard to use my brain, but had a knack for knowing when to ease up. When I decided to leave Quigley, he went out of his way to encouragement and guidance. This was a good man. I've never forgotten him.

I will always have fond memories of Bishop Jakubowski. He was a kind and funny soul. I will miss him dearly....

If I remember right, wasn't he at
Transfiguration Parish in Chicago around 1955-60's? I thought we called him Fr. Ted at that time. Great homilies, I remember at a very young age

Thanks for all of your kindnesses to me and my family.

Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you as your dentist. We shared many laughs in spite of my drilling! Thank you so much for officiating at our 50th wedding anniversary (and helping my family to keep it a secret from me until Mass started!). Our family will truly miss you.

May Father Jake rest in peace. His reward for the life he lived is surely a place in heaven. The ideal priest and a true friend. The world will be a little dimmer with his light not in it.

Sincere condolences to the family. Teacher at St. Ann, mentor, confidant, friend - Father Ted was all of that to our family. I hope they have fried chicken wings in heaven. Rest well.

I met father jake when he was at st Robert and I was an officer at the Gladstone bank. although we were of different religions, he would always come into my office to say hello and listen to my stupid jokes. he wanted 50.00 in new pennies for a birthday gift and he asked me to get it for him I told him I would try and if I couldn't get new pennies, I would give him a bag of old pennies and a can of brasso. he laughed and I was able to get the new pennies. although I haven't seen him for many years, I still think of him and am very sorry for the loss god bless.

I will miss your notes thanking me for looking after Helen. You were the greatest and you will be missed by everyone who knew you. You will be in my prayers.
My condolences to the family.

Rest in Peace Father Jake. My sympathy to the Jakubowski family. He was probably the most respected member of the QN faculty. A great sense of humor, always tough but always fair, and a stare that could melt steel. Peace Father Jake, Peace. Jon Rochetti - QN'76

"Give me your card". He scared the Devil out of me freshman year, but by the end of my four years, it was clear he was a devote, holy, dedicated Priest and a "regular guy". God rest your Soul, Bishop.

My sympathy to the Jakubowski Family. We were Manistee Avenue neighbors and St. Mary Magdalene friends. I remember Fr. Thad's First Mass along with another neighbor, Fr. Postelanczyk. You are now enjoying the Face of God ... Thank you for your presence in our lives.

My condolences to the family of Father Jake.May he rest in peace.

Fr. Jake was and will remain a legend among those of us that knew him at Quigley North. As disciplinarian he projected a personna that shook us as Freshman. We learned over our years that he was the greatest- resolved in his values and the character he demanded that we portray, humorous, and a great friend to all of us there. His influence has spanned many decades and his legacy includes those of us that are better people for having known him. John Conway QN '76

Rest in peace, Father Jake. You were my favorite pastor at St. Robert Bellarmine. You will be missed by many. I know you will be watching over us all.

I remember Fr. being our Priest at St. Roberts back in the day and he also Confirmed my girls many years later at St. Beatrice. Rest in peace Father Jakubowski.

We will miss you dearly and are eternally grateful for all you have done for our family. Rejoice with your heavenly family.
