Words cannot express how saddened I am to hear of Jake's passing, Gisela. As you know, he was a mentor and friend to me when I worked out at SS. He was interesting and fun to work with making our work days pass quickly. He welcomed me into your home, lives and quickly adopted me as his "second son". I have used what he taught me throughout my career. Brenda and I want to express our most heartfelt condolences to You, Olaf, Astrid, Sabine and Families. We shall never forget him. May Jake Rest in Peace. - Posted by: Kevin C Dawson (Former co-worker) on: Dec 12, 2015
