It is my sad duty to re-post the flurry of e-mails I received announcing the passing of First MOBI Intake's Barry 'Jake' Jacobs... :evil3:

Dear All,

More sad news I am afraid. As you can see from below, Barry was in the 1st intake of MOBIs – July 1956. Our thoughts go with his family and friends at this time.

Yours aye

Bob Mummery

Hi Bob
Could you please pass this sad news on to your many contacts.
Jake was one of the first intake of Mobi's in '56.
I don't have any knowledge of a service yet , but under the circumstances I guess it may be some time.
Regards
Tom Shaw....Mobi17

Hi Brothers
I am so sorry to pass this unfortunate news to you all.
I have just read this email from Jim Blunt asking me to pass on this sad news.
I will forward any advice regarding Barry's funeral when I hear from Smiley or Jim.
Kind regards
Tom

Hi Tom,
Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings on your birthday but Smiley has just been on the phone to say that Barry passed on last night.
Evidently he took a fall and the bleeding could not be controlled and he did not survive.
Smiley asked me to spread the word. Could you pass this on through your network please as that would reach most people.
Olga is going to advise Smiley of arrangements once things are organised.
Kind regards,
Jim.
