If you are lucky enough to know when your heart is about to stop and let your body start to turn cold - you won't be wishing for time to make more money. When your time really comes, no amount of money will get you another second of life. Life is friendship and relationships - and Jake died as rich and happy as anyone! Thanks for the lesson, Jake!

I sold the Bagel Factory in 2001.. Jake was a constant, encouraging presence in the shop and in the downtown neighborhood since the early '70s. We loved his persistence, determination, his dignity and unflagging optimism. I'm proud to have 'Baked for Jake.' Rest in Peace, Shake.

Very well done doc. there. I'd guess that was shot about 10 years ago....just a guess. I know the Bagel Factory has been closed for a while. Ann Arbor will miss Jake. I think they should make a statue of him somewhere downtown to honor a true Ann Arbor legend.

Oh sorry, I'm an idiot--you meant what year the video was made, not when he died. I wanna know when the video was made too.
