A fine gentleman.
I climbed Ben Laoigh with him (and several others) on a snowy, icy day bus meet in the early 70s.
About 15 years later, I discovered one of our new architects in HS was one of his sons. Same wild sense of humour.

Sorry to hear news.
Jake used to contact me back and forth just to see how things were going with the club and the cottage. His fondness for the Club stayed with him long after he had moved North.
Condolences to his wife and family.
