Lori Sexton wrote a sympathy message

“I was sorry to hear of Uncle Jake’s passing. My daughter Amy and I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with him and Aunt Sally six years ago when we made a trip to Fort Wayne. Kept in touch with him for quite awhile afterward and had some great conversations with him as he reminisced about his life. I know he will be missed.”
