Monique, Pat, Nicole and Mary Lou, sending deepest condolences to you and all who knew Jake from Catherine, Gary, Aumen and Ardyn. We were going to come that way to see my parents and Gary’s sister to celebrate her birthday. I wanted to go to the celebration of life before going to Windsor. However, we have all come down with the flu and have stayed put in Guelph. Sending a big invisible and vibrational hug during this time of loss.

When I think of my cousin Jake, I think of quality and the Golden Rule.
He lived in the belief that every day gave him the chance to do and be his best:
to do unto others as he would have them do unto him.
Once a task was taken on, every day presented the opportunity to do the job he did yesterday - better.
Perfection was his goal
As work day drifted to evening, if company dropped by, he might roll out the comfort chairs, pour tumblers of wine, and spin a good long well told tale, laced with humor and his own 'secret ingredient' charm.
Every day was a day to express gratitude for the life he'd been inspired to build on the love he so generously gave and received from his beloved soul mate, Patsy, their adored daughters, sons-in-law and the grandchildren he so cherished.
Jake's life lit up the life of all who knew him. And our memories of him will keep the flame alive and bright.

To the entire "Bélanger" family, immediate and extended:
This is how I remember my beloved cousin Jake. He was steadfast, caring, talented, funny, lovable, down-to-earth, generous and so much more.
The twinkle in his eyes and his broad smile brought cheer to all those around him. What a guy! He will always be cherished and missed at every family reunion. May these memories help ease the pain of this loss.
Toutes mes condoléances.

We are so sorry to hear the passing of Jake, Pat,Nicole & Dan & family
Jake hired me in December 1995. Every morning Jake would make his rounds and say good morning that was the type of boss he was and I really respected him. Jake was always smiling either at the hydro or at Home Depot where we would run into him often Always enjoyed having fun met him the first time at business after hours. You will be missed Jake
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of at this difficult time Sorry we are unable to pay our respects at the funeral home as we are away.
Hugs and kisses

Dearest Pat & family. I have many wonderful memories of my years working with Jake at Rockwell/Meritor. I especially remember the wonderful staff Christmas parties at the Oak’s Inn. Jake was always the first person to offer to lend a hand any time anyone needed help with anything. We enjoyed many laughs throughout our years at Rockwell. He will most definitely be missed by all who knew him. We send our deepest sympathies to Jake’s family.

Jake will be missed by everyone as he touched the lives of everyone he came in touch with. As a coworker with Jake over the past 8 years I will especially miss the stories of how he solved an issue, or helped me with my issue. To Pat and family, thank you for sharing Jake with us in our lives. To Pat and all your family my wife Anne Bryant and I would like to express our deepest sympathies . We have lost a friend indeed. Thoughts and prayers to you all.
