He was in the Canadian Armed Forces from 1943 to 1946 stationed in England, Holland and Germany. Upon returning to Canada Jake met his future bride Sophie in 1947 whom he married in 1950. Jake was a loving, thoughtful husband and caring father and grandfather always putting his family first. Jake had a great sense of humour always ready with a quick smile and a witty reply.
