Elmer S. Jacobs (Jake), born September 20, 1925, went home to be with the Lord on July 28, 2012 at his home with his family by his side. Elmer was born and raised in the Frankford section of Northeast Philadelphia. He began his career in the automobile business in the early 1950’s relocating to Mays Landing, NJ in 1967 where he established Jacobs Chevrolet and Oldsmobile until his retirement in 1984. Elmer was a veteran of the United States Navy during World War II and served as one of the original members of the Hamilton Township Industrial Commission. Elmer’s hobbies were baking pies and cakes to give away to family and friends, shooting pool with his buddies at the Oaks of Weymouth, and spending time with his children and grandchildren whenever possible. Elmer was predeceased by his parents Charles and Kathryn Jacobs; his siblings Edward, Raymond, and Shirley; and his wife of 35 years Leona Elizabeth, to whom he was completely devoted. Elmer is survived by his brother Harry Jacobs of Greenville, SC. Elmer will be dearly missed by his son Robert and wife Nevada of Lower Bank, daughter Mary Kay Ayers and husband Greg of Richmond, VA; and son Michael and wife Theresa of Seaville, NJ. Elmer was the proud PopPop to nine grandchildren: Nicholas, Melanie, Brian, Stephen, Laura, David, Phillip, Kathryn, Caleb; and one great-grandchild Seth Jacob. Elmer’s pleasant smile and kind demeanor touched the lives of those who knew him. Relatives and friends are invited to gather on Friday, August, 3, beginning at 10 AM at St. Vincent de Paul Church, 5021 Harding Highway, Mays Landing, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11 AM.
