Having known Terry and Judy for many years and our Sons playing ball with their Sons makes it extremely difficult for us to express how sad we are to hear of the tragedy that happened last week to Jake. He was always very friendly and was an excellent umpire. Our prayers go out to Jake's wife and children and the entire family. Be strong Terry and Judy because thanks to Jesus we will see Jake again. God Bless
