He lived in Saginaw in the 60's he was old then, I notice he gone one summer in 83
and nobody knew where he went. Glad to See A2 took him to heart, I heard he passed in 2007, but somehow I still wanted to check up on him. His life would make a great movie, if anyone knew anything about him, he was everyones friend but we knew so little about him.
I was born and raised in Ann Arbor. From the time I was allowed to go downtown at an early age I always remember seeing Mr. Jake. He was a friendly guy who always had a great word! I can not imagine A2 without Jake. Rest in peace my friend.
I lived in Ann Arbor from 1982-1985. I remember seeing Shakey Jake quite a bit. I just found out he died a year later by curiously googling his name today. VERY SAD, yet so cool that he left such a mark on Ann Arbor!
We used to call him "Shakin Jake" back in the 70s!
