On October 31, 2019, Jack Jacobs quietly passed away at the age of 90.  He was born in Philadelphia on March 19, 1929 and grew up in the era of the Great Depression.  Jack joined the Navy at an early age and served during the end of WWII.  He became enamored with the sea, served as a merchant marine seaman and traveled the world during his time of service.  Jack spent most of his career as a civil servant working for the federal government in different areas and positions.

From an early age, Jack loved to read and continued through all of his life.  This is how he became so intellectually smart.  He loved swimming and scuba diving.  In his later years, Jack became an avid gardener.  He was loving and generous and always quick to lend a hand.  Although he lived in many places, he spent the last 45 years residing in New Jersey.

He was the husband of Elisa Jacobs; brother to Betty Parido and the late Ronald Jacobs.  He is also survived by three loving children: Jack A. Jacobs, Mae Jacobs Skinner and Morris Jacobs; a granddaughter, Jamie Jacobs and a great granddaughter, Mykah Jacobs.  He was also a loving stepfather to his wife's 4 children and 8 grandchildren.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend his visitation on Wednesday, November 20, 5 to 6 PM at the FOSTER-WARNE FUNERAL HOME, 820 Haddon Ave., Collingswood, NJ.  Remembrance service will follow at 6 PM.  Interment private.
