I have many wonderful memories of Uncle Jake,from when I was a kid and still lived in Lucan, Looking at all the old pics that were posted,made me smile. There was even one of my Dad(John) with hair..:) Uncle Jake and Aunt Freda`s place was always a fun place to be. Loved staying there is the Blue room,and talking to John in his Black room at the top of the stairs. Uncle Jake you were a great guy,and I loved helping you in the barn when I stayed there with my Dad. Heaven has a new Angel rest in Peace…HUGS
