He was predeceased by his parents and his first wife, Gail Rogerson. Jake had a deep love for boats, enjoying talking about them, building them, and being on the water. As a partner at Bayfield Boat Yard, he helped design the Bayfield 40, and his own boat was named For Sale. Jake and his wife Janet spent many summers in the North Channel, visiting places like the Benjamin Islands, Clapperton Island, Collins Inlet, and Killarney, where they were married. The family is grateful for the care provided by the staff of Huronview Care Home in Clinton.
