Jake was one of my first bosses. I was 17 years old and he hired me in the summer of 1975. Fonger Construction had the contract to build the Saint Claude Credit Union. I found him to be a very kind man, hard working and a sense of humour. My condolences to the family - Posted by: Raymond P DEDIEU (Worked for Jake in 1975 Fonger Construction built the Saint Claude Credit Union) on: Dec 09, 2012
