  Although we never hung out , Jake always made me feel like we were best friends. I met Jake while working at Courier in 1974 and we hit it right off . A truly great, soft spoken , gentlemen, who I could never say enough good things about. We would see one another through the year and it was always a pleasure to see him. RIP my friend!

  We will miss our friend of many many years. You were one of the three amigos (Jake, Johnny and Paul). The times spent together; laughing, going to the fights (inside and outside the ring), the dances, the clubs, so many memories. We’re thankful for your love and friendship. We will miss you for now and think of you often. Until we see you again… xo

  I miss you Jake, but I am absolutely sure you are on your way to your new journey, a new life and we will meet again somewhere, sometime.

  I could not believe when I got the news of Jake’s passing…I have known Jake for nearly 50 years. We worked together at the Courier Citizen in the early 70s. I always considered Jake a close friend and always will…I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that he is gone, but I will never forget him…I will miss you. Rest In Peace, my friend.
