Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

I had initially met Jake when he and his first wife Leni, both, lived and worked at Bethania Seniors apartment building. Jake (and Leni) was so welcoming and kind to not only myself but to anyone who, either, lived in the building or people who came to visit there. Jake was always ready and willing to help no matter how small or big the task. Even though it’s been a number of years since I’ve seen Jake I will never forget what a kind and decent man he was. As I get older I still find myself missing the times that Jake, Leni, Adina and myself shared laughing over the simplest funny things. The memory we all have is a wonderful thing because we can picture and remember those who meant so much to us even though they’re gone. I hope that Jake knew how much he was appreciated and cared for. Rest In Peace Jake, you will always remain in my memories a wonderful man. - Posted by: Kim Stoyko (Friend ) on: May 30, 2024
