He was not lazy and brought a phonograph and records from the house, and in the evenings we listened to the sounds, Jacob’s joy of life was evident in all his work, always cheerful and Simcha, everything he did with holy zeal. His beloved girlfriend was loyal in all his soul. In fact, he loved everything and everyone.
