JACOBS, Dr. Alvin Joseph is survived by his wife of 42 years, Tamar, daughter Adrielle and husband Igal, daughter Aurianne Jacobs Dorsay of Petaluma and husband, Adam and three grandchildren Talia Renette, Erin Simone and Nathan Mark and his brother Sam of Long Island, NY. Alvin was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1928.
He attended New York University and Brooklyn Polytechnic University where he graduated Summa Cum Laude. He then attended the University of Michigan for pre-med studies but switched to metallurgy, which he considered one of the two best decisions of his life; he considered his other best decision his choice to marry Tamar. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Xi.
After receiving his Ph.D. in metallurgical engineering from Ohio State University, he went for his postdoctoral fellowship for one year in Holland at the University of Amsterdam. That is where he met his future wife Tamar and her daughter Renette.
He accompanied Tamar to Israel where he worked for the Israeli Nuclear Energy Commission. While there, Dr. Jacobs made many friends and important scientific contributions.
Dr. Jacobs returned to the United States and worked at the Batelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, OH. He subsequently moved to Southern California where he was employed by Rocketdyne. There his efforts contributed to the Saturn Apollo rocket engine which played a role in man's first lunar landing in 1969.
In 1976 he moved to San Jose where he worked as a scientist for General Electric, studying the field of radiation assisted stress corrosion cracking of structural materials that are present in the core of nuclear reactors. Over the years Dr. Jacobs' studies were widely published in technical journals. He also gave presentations at many conferences in the US and Japan, and was widely respected for his insights. As such, he was honored by his colleagues and was voted a Fellow in the American Society of Metals.
Among Dr. Jacobs' many hobbies was his love for travel with his wife Tamar. Together they visited much of North America as well as Australia, Brazil, China, South and East Africa, Western and Eastern European countries and Israel.
Dr. Jacobs made friends wherever he lived and worked and will be missed by friends local and overseas for his warmth, generosity and loyalty.
