Leroy and Helena, I am so sorry to hear about your brother Jake. We grew up on White Store Road picking blackberry, working in the bowling alley, shooting marbles and playing baseball. Jake was the catcher and he caught without a face mask. He was my friend and my classmate (Class of 1964) and I will surely miss him. Johnny Johnson
