Some of you may know Dave Jacobsen, from PA. He was a infrequent forum participant and I just learned of his passing. I know he also spoke with Bradley in Louisiana.
I knew and met Dave thru my worked related travels in the Mid-Atlantic. I would stop by his place occasionally (right off I-81 in PA) and spend some time with him. Dave didn't drive, and I'd pick him up to attend the NYC show, or head down to the nearby Cigars International. When my work travel ended, we would speak by phone once a month or so. I spoke to him in early January, than in February his phone went to voice mail with an automated message. I tried again yesterday, and also reached out to Brad (the Old Cajun), who had not heard from him. I googled his name and town and unfortunately found his obituary notice. Dave had been battling some chronic illnesses over this winter and I guess they got the best of him. He was a generous spirit and we exchanged pipes and tobacco over the years (I first met him maybe 10 years ago). I'll miss our phone calls but appreciate the time we were able to spend together. Dave battled some internal demons, so I hope he rests peacefully.
