Bill Jacobs
Bill Jacobs, Past President of the WDCU, and our good friend, passed away on Tuesday, December 23, 2008. His passing was sudden and unexpected. He died at his home in West Virginia. He will be missed…
Bill was a soft spoken gentle man. His humble appearance belied a vast intelligence and generous heart. I don’t think there was a subject that Bill didn’t know something about. He knew how to have fun like a kid and he knew how to behave like a gentleman. I never heard him speak ill of anyone. He loved kids and he loved books. He enjoyed his Airstream.
I feel privileged to have known him and to call him a friend. I wish he hadn’t left us so suddenly and so soon. There were so many more roads we could have traveled down to see him.
I hope I see him again some day when I travel down that last road to our final sunset and I hope we can sit around a golden campfire and enjoy each other’s company once again. I’ll miss you, Bill.
