Jake, a special friend, a great example of a steadfast friend, and one to share various yarns with. Before he moved west, I am so pleased we were able to share some of the “good old day”memories. So happy Jake was able to spend some time in his land of dreams meeting the great people whom he mentioned in his last texts. Til we meet again my friend.

Jake you have been a special friend and my brother in law for 38 years plus. We spent a lot of great years at the cottage or fishing on your boat (Blue) when the family came to visit in Winnipeg. I will always remember you as a Special Dad and one of the most caring persons God put on this earth. We shared a lot of laughs and a few tears together. I,m sure you are smiling now as you look down and see the wonderful family you and Patricia have left behind. I know your are now in peace in a better place. Rest in peace my friend till we meet again. Like any Klassen would say. Love Ya. - Posted by: Doug Day (brother-in-law) on: Nov 22, 2017
