Jacob was a fisherman. He learned a love of fishing at an early age from his father. For Jacob, fishing was about ritual and mystery. It’s about acknowledging a power greater than our own. Recognizing that we play a small part in the scheme of things. It’s about faith. Faith that the next cast will be the one, that the fish on the line will make it into the boat, and that if this day didn’t go well, the next would be better. Jacob had a love of trains that was surely passed on by his namesake, Harwell P Estes and Jacob passed his love to his nephew, Andy. Jacob treasured playing with his niece and nephew. Jacob loved to take them to see and experience new things from hiking in the woods or going to a dinosaur exhibit, spending time learning and laughing was important to him.
