A Cut Above

Jake’s many endearing qualities made it easy to like and respect him; those who knew Jake to any degree knew he was a cut above the rest. A memory that comes to mind is of a day when I saw Jake above the rest in a literal sense. A few years ago at a team building event to go indoor rock climbing, I found myself watching in awe as Jake, clearly an experienced climber, scaled the walls with what seemed like no effort at all. I was astounded by his ability and the heights he reached.

Thank you Sean, Gary and Ray. This growing collection of memories of Jake is a gift.
