Jake was former president of the Edgar Coop, former supervisor of the town of Cassel and was actively involved at St. John Catholic Church. Jake attended mass daily and his friends showed concern when he was not there. He lived a very full life and enjoyed spending time with his family and his dog, Frank. Jake lived his entire life at 3347 Bluebird Lane and had a passion for farming. He was always thinking of something new that he wanted to try.
