Memorial Services and Interment for Jacob Andrew Emerich, 89, of Arlington Heights for 53 years, will be held privately at the Prince of Peace Church, Palatine.
Jacob was born February 16, 1931 in Chicago and he passed away December 29, 2020 in Arlington Heights.
He was the beloved husband of Gloria B. (nee Pienschke) Emerich; loving father of Kenneth (Margaret) Emerich and Carol (Lawrence) Matchen; loving grandfather of Joseph (Casey) Emerich, Jeffrey Emerich, Jacob Matchen, Cody (Kristin Vargas) Matchen, Garret Matchen; loving great-grandfather of Jade Emerich; dear son of the late Jacob and Katherine (nee Kunz) Emerich.
He did a GREAT job raising his daughter (Carol), molding her into a caring woman, who is not afraid of touching those in need. I’m sure he is proud of her. Although I never met him, I’m sure I would have liked him 😉
