Jacobsmeyer, George Gustav George Gustav Albert Jacobsmeyer "Jake" 1910-2005 Born in Portland, Oregon, on June 6, 1910, George passed away shortly after his 95th birthday, after a long life of good health and happiness. In the end, he succumbed to complications of diabetes and kidney failure. George grew up in Los Angeles and played basketball at Fremont High School and for Firestone Tire & Rubber Company in a semi-professional league. He played basketball with many young LDS boys; and, it was through them that he met his future bride, the sister of one of the other players. Fern Lorene Simmons, the daughter of Wallace Simmons, first Bishop of the Los Angeles Manchester Ward, and Wilmirth Hundley, married George shortly after he joined the church. They were married in Los Angeles in 1937 and immediately made the 700-mile trip to Salt Lake City in a Model A Ford to have their marriage solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. George was working at Chase Electric selling appliances when he heard about a test being given to become a firefighter for the City of Los Angeles. He was one of the oldest recruits in training, but passed the test and served for 28 years before retiring in 1970. During his time on the fire department, George became a very good bowler and won many of the department's tournaments. Meanwhile, Fern stayed home tending the eight children and taking care of the household. George and Fern moved to Pleasant Grove, Utah, in 1984, to be closer to most of their children. Fern passed away in 1994 in Pleasant Grove. George is survived by all eight children: Larry, Jon, Cherilyn, Marlene, Hugo, Roberta, Loretta, and Robert, as well as 27 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren. Two sons followed in George's footsteps as firefighters. Jon became an engineer for the Los Angeles Fire Dept. and retired after 30 years.
