My mother, Shirley Cashion, thought the world of Jake. They "worked" at various fairs together in concessions and had more fun than should have been allowed. Our deepest sympathies to Jake's family.

Lou and Alan,I knew Jake from Hidden Valley Apts. Jake lived on the other hall from us but he was the sweetest, kindest man you would ever want to meet. I pray God will be with you and your family, may he comfort you in the loss of your loved one. May God give you each the strength to get through these next few days. God Bless.

Dear Ziglar Family,
I am sorry for your loss.
You can find comfort in God's promises.
In John 5:28,29 - He is going to resurrect all those who have died, back to life here on earth. All the things that cause us sorrow, pain, and even death, will be gone forever - Revelation 21:3,4.

To the Ziglar Family: I was saddened to read of Jake's passing. He was always a kind and sweet man every time I was around him. As a "Rich" brat, I saw him often when he would drop by and visit my parents. I wish I could remember half of the trucking stories I would always hear him and my Dad tell. Those two were seriously funny. My Daddy was Ed Martin, and he drove for Rich Products for many years before his death in 1983. Down through the years, I continued to think of him fondly.I know he will be missed and pray for comfort and peace for the family
