My POP, Stephan Jassby will be sadly missed. He was a great insperation to many people not only in our family but many around in our community. He had an extremely rough life growing up but never let what life threw at him get him down. His fast acting bone cancer to him was just another obsticle and he took it as just a part of life, he said to me, we all have problems, it's in how you resolve them. He was just trying to put us all at ease. My dad always pressed forward, He taught us to believe in whom you are, never give up, be really genuine to people and always, always lend a hand to someone in need. I consider myself very fortunate to have a POP like this, and it's going to be extremely hard, but it was for the best, he was in so much pain, and I'm glad the GOOD LORD took him last night, he is flying high with his wings.
When you are born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, You're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
Great job dad, we love you, miss you, and do what you have to do in your next life. Jeff, Sandy, Melissa, Courtney, and Marcus.
One thing I feel I need to mention to everyone at Nor-Tech..as my dad sat behind the helm, put his hands on the wheel..HE said: Damn Jeff, this is one hell of a machine, live your life...He then gave me the biggest smile, and said I'm proud of you....I watched as he smiled trying to figure out what all the buttons and throttles were for. I feel bad that a storm came over us 15 minutes later and he never got a ride. I'll be thinking of him everytime I take her out.
That would surely have been the ride of his life Jeff , and you have some great pics & memories .. my Pops has /wont get in the SKATER a few years back i took him for a 119 mph blast in the AT in 3 to 5s on lake michigan and i believe scared him a bit & bounced him around ,to this day he has never gotten in any of my boats again ... i would love more then to have a 24"x 30" pic in the living room of him ripping it up or even a vid .. lifes to friggin short keep your head up Bro ..may he rip
