I only met Jake a couple of years ago and I truly enjoyed his company. I will miss him greatly.
I worked with Jake at the VFW. I am their accountant. I was shocked to hear the news. He was an asset to the VFW organization. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family and loved ones.
Mary and Family,
I just wanted to drop the family a note. My mom is Barb Gallaher Schanck and we wanted to send our condolences. Mary, I know we don’t live too far away from each other, please let me know if you need anything.
Much Love,
Beth, Barb and families.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Bellville family. I worked with Jake on shift for some years up to his retirement. I have a lot of good memories of our work together on the shift.
So sorry for your lose.

Uncle Jake is going to be so missed by so many. Some of my best memories are from staying down with you all when I was a kid. I always have those memories to look back on just as you will always have your memories of him to look back on.
We love you all !!
