Olivia--So sorry to hear of Jake's passing. He was a good man, a fiercely honest gentleman, excellent working man, and friend. All who were privileged to know Jake will surely miss him dearly. I've wanted so much to go back and see hi again since ya'll told me that day at home about his latest diagnosis, but have been prevented by this stroke that hit on June 3 and prevented my driving.Rehab hospital is about the extent of any traveling. Sorry I can't go to funeral for the same reason. Take care and greet all the family who know-remember-me. If I can help you in any way that's possible, just let me know via e-mail or cell ph., 850-294-2121. Bill Corbin.
