My daddy was the absolute best man I could have been blessed with to be a positive male role model. If I can be half the man he was my life will be fulfilled

Me and my family wish to send our sincerest sympathy, to you and your family in this trying time. I loved dad and will miss him much. Love, Kim Margolis

Karen,Jeanette, Roseanna, Dora and Jordan, when I read about this it hurt so much to see my buddy go. I remember when he first moved to Brockton and enjoyed his company so much back in the day. So sorry to know that we won't run into each other at the picnic this coming year. But God's the boss and we will run into each other again in the new life. May God keep you and the family strong during this time of sorrow. Joan Madden

I just want to say thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts to myself and family at this hard time with the passing of my daddy who was truly a great man and loved by all of us. Again thank you all for your kind thoughts, Love, Darlene and family

I just want to say thank you for always being there for me when i needed you.And thank you for coming to my football and basketball games. And thanks for calling me shawna and tony and all these other names.. Love, Jeff Jr.

This message is not for my dad because my dad knows I love him and I am positive that he was always proud of me and I will continue to make the best out of myself as both my parents would want me to. This message is for all of my father's brothers and sisters, his nephews and nieces, his grandchildren, his friends and most importantly my mom whom my father (Big Jake) loved all of you and would want everyone to remember how much fun he was and how he was always bothering someone and being a jokester. I will never have one bad thing to say about my dad because he was the best father I could have ever been blessed with, from when he used to bring me to see the Red Sox @ Fenway or bring me fishing or just brought me driving just hanging out talking to me about being a man, thankyou daddy I love you!

I am so sorry to hear of about Jake i knew him for a long time , and he always had a hug and big smile for me. He always asked about my family. I was a friend of al marshall who was a friend to Jake and i always asked about him , he said if he saw him he would pass along my message of how he was doing. I always wonder where Al is doing. So please let him know i am thinking about him Al . And my heart goes out to u all Jake is in heaven now and is looking down on all of you. gerri my email is [email protected]
