“So sorry for your loss. Jake was loved by many in the refractory world. He was a great friend and co- worker. Had the privilege of working along side Jake over 20+years. His trademark saying was 'How bout ya" which we said to each other every time we saw each other. R.I.P. my friend till we meet again.”

“Danny, Jake the Snake is my uncle and a true idol in my life. I wanted to reply and let you know I showed your post and the picture you shared with my grandma, Cindy, Jake's mom. It brought the biggest smile to her face (and of course a tear to her eye) as she exclaimed "that's my boy"! She also agreed that you are completely right about his trademark saying, and now I can't know for sure but I'd wager a close second would be "Ain't shit to a brick layer" Thank you so much for sharing!”
