I had the pleasure of caring for Jacob in the early 80's when I worked for Home Care Services of New South Wales. Im deeply sadend to hear of his passing.

Jacob took me under his wings as the Earth Angel he was and guided me to places within that I could never have imagined. He challenged my beliefs, my visions and my abilities. We spent many an hour on his verandah conversing about the Ideas of Life and all kinds of POSSIBILITIES. My journeys with Jacob, from his support with our organization of Homeless People Australia, putting on a Harmonica Jazz Extravaganza in Byron, to the vision of the Red Dust run were times of a jubilant ride that will stay with me forever. You are truly missed my friend.... Hope you're having fun in that party in the sky :-D Peace & Blessings Kathleen 27~8~2010

I have had the pleasure to have been with in the company of a REAL LIVING ANGEL. i first met Jacob and then Deanna just before the 2000 Sydney Olympics. I was in need of some help for a charity bike ride, for the Homeless People Australia Inc. We had a disabled traveller with us. Jacob bent over back wards and assisted us in the only way he knew. Strait from his HEART. I had never met a person before who with his ABILITY to just be himself. On my return I had the PLEASURE to enjoy celebrating his 50th Birthday @ BYRON BAY with Joacob, Deanna, Family and his Friends .Sadly I didn't know Jacobs condition but I know where you are now my Friend Resting With in PEACE. Love always GAZA 21/08/2010
