I was sitting here this morning and thinking about my days at the Miller Brewing Coin Fulton NY and of some of the nice people who were my sales representatives who called on me and Jake was the best and most knowledgeable professional I had the pleasure of seeing every week. We would have such a great business and personal relationship that was based on honesty and integrity.
His stories about his children always brought a smile to his face and his love for his children was unconditional.
Jake loved his country and was so proud of his medical unit on Burrstone Road and the stories as a weekend warrior were funny and enlightening.
Jake it’s been years since we have talked but you have a special place in my memories and everytime I go by The old Smythe Despatd I thing of you and Jerry Jenny and Sharon.
God Bless you and he had a special place in Heaven.
