Returning to Steinbach, he worked at several jobs before entering the career he enjoyed most as book-keeper with Shell Oil. Even more, he enjoyed his 15 year voluntary career with the Canadian Sunday School Mission that ranged from being a board member, to managing camp maintenance, to planning and preparing crafts for all the Manitoba camps.
Jake is survived by 4 children: Allan (Helen), Judy (Bert), Wilbert (Brenda), and Gordon (Luella), 7 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his wife Mary.
