Mr. J, as I called him since Marjie introduced me to her parents when I was 15 years old, was the most loving, kind and happiest man I ever met. His joyful smile as he called me "Eddddna Darling" always tickled me with laughter and warmth.

You were a significant part of my childhood Mr. J and I will never forget you or stop loving you. Thank you for welcoming me and my family into your wonderful life and family. May you Rest in Peace for all of eternity.

I am so saddened by the passing of Jacob. He was such a sweet caring human being. When my dad was in the Hebrew Home he never passed us without a big hello and how are you Marty. I will always remember his kindness. Marge Glater
