Glenn A. Jacobs' Obituary
Glenn Anthony Jacobs, age 63, passed into spirit on Saturday, August 13, 2011 at the University Medical Center of Princeton after a brief illness.
A long time resident of Princeton, he was born in Norfolk, Virginia, on February 3, 1948, the first son of Charles A. Jacobs and Louise Atkinson Jacobs. He was raised in Chesapeake, Virginia, and graduated from Great Bridge High School. While growing up, he was very active in the Boy Scouts of America. He worked for numerous merit badges, earned the Eagle Scout Award, and was a member of the Order of the Arrow, the national honor society of the Boy Scouts of America.
Glenn completed his university studies at William and Mary College and Old Dominion University, also doing specialized research at Langley Air Force Base. In 1970, he joined Squibb (now Bristol-Myers Squibb) in New Brunswick, New Jersey and then Princeton, New Jersey, where he worked as a research chemist in pharmaceutical discovery in the cardiovascular, animal health, and anti-infective areas. He coauthored numerous papers and patents. He was a member of the American Chemical Society and the New York Academy of Sciences.
In Princeton, Glenn made a new home, many friends, and enjoyed the community. He was an active member of the community, serving at Trinity Episcopal Church for many years and St. Paul's Catholic Church. He was a strong supporter of The American Boychoir School, as well as of the arts and theatre. Music was one of his great loves. He was always the person you could depend on and he helped many people.
Surviving are his mother, Louise A. Jacobs of Chesapeake, VA. sister Kathleen J. Davis (James) of Virginia Beach, VA, brother Richard A. Jacobs of Chesapeake, VA, nephews James R. Davis of Virginia Beach, VA and Peter A. Jacobs of Washington , DC., a niece Kristin A. Davis of Smithfield, VA, and two great-nephews. Also to cherish his memory are his great friends Carolyn E. Massad and Nick Semenuk of Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
A memorial mass will be held at St. Paul's Catholic Church, 214 Nassau Street, Princeton on Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. Burial will be private in the family plot in Virginia.
