    I knew Jim (Jake) and worked with him for many years and it was a honor to work with and to know him. Jake was a great friend and teacher. He was also a great story teller and could always put a smile on your face. He had a big heart and helped me and others just by listening. He wasn't afraid to say anything and always voiced his opinion. Jim touched many hearts and will be missed by many. Rest in Peace my Friend
