Jake is a lifelong resident of St. Mary's County. On October 14, 1960, he married his beloved wife, Delores Jane "Jeannie" Hutson. Together they celebrated over 43 wonderful years of marriage before her passing in March 2004.

He was employed as a foreman at Steuart Petroleum in Piney Point, MD until his retirement in the early 1980's.
He also spent many years farming and saw milling. He always grew beautiful gardens, enjoyed hunting, attending blue grass concerts, and going to auctions.
