Jacob you will be deeply missed I enjoyed every moment we spent together at results company. We all spent countless hours laughing and joking with you and when we had the radio playing on the call floor we always got a kick out of singing with you. Our hearts hurt every day since we lost you. We know your flying with the Angels now.

Used to babysit Jacob when he was 3 or 4 years old or around that age. My dad called him "The Tasmanian Devil." But he was mischievous, not mean. And always kind as he grew up. Joe, Lori,and the rest of the family, I am so so sorry. I love you and please let me know if you need anything at all. Praying for you.
