Jacob worked for the Railroad and retired with twenty plus years of service. He then went to work for Mentor as a caretaker doing what he loved to do helping others. He worked with autistic adults for 14 years... It takes a special caring individual for that and those guys loved him!.
Jacob was a great father he adored his children and they loved them. You could always depend on him. Jacob was not a man of many words, but when it came to them Grandchildren he sure had lots to say. Before his health started failing him, you could depend on him to come to all their functions. He was the proud grandaddy that did not miss one affair. Friday night was family night at one or other of the children’s house. They had to keep friday free for Daddy, and the whole gang would be there. Those were the good times! So much fun and laughter!
