Topic: Jack Jacobs

Sadly I have just learned that Jack Jacobs passed away on 28th February 2023.

Jack is survived by his wife and children and grandchildren.

Unfortunately, the cat whose picture Jack used on the forum needed to be put to sleep in April 2023.

Re: Jack Jacobs

Sad news indeed, William. Thank you for letting us know. (Jack did post a picture of his cat here at one point, but the cat shown in his forum avatar wasn’t actually his cat.)

Re: Jack Jacobs

Alas, not unexpected, but very sad news. Jack would always post a greetings at the time of the Jewish festival dates, and when that stopped I did rather fear the worst especially when re-reading his last few posts. https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?id=344. I hope he was able to enjoy his last (87th) birthday as much as he could in the circumstances.

Also so sad to hear about his cat Suzi. Perhaps, she is keeping Jack company.

Re: Jack Jacobs

Thanks William.  We had been wondering if that was the situation.
