Beloved husband of Loretta nee Baitt of 64 yrs., and loving father of Sandra Craig Madden, and cherished grandfather to Charlie and Lauren Madden.

In 1943, he joined the USMC. During his service, he spent time aboard the USS General Harry Taylor in the South Pacific. After three years of service, in 1946, Jacob was honorably discharged as a WWII Veteran. After serving his country, Jacob met Loretta Baitt, whom he married on June 18, 1949. They built their home in Euclid, in which they resided for over 60 years. Chick was a police officer for the Euclid Police Department until 1982, when he retired after serving 32 years on the force. He was a member of the Euclid FOPA, Euclid Veterans Club, SNPJ Lodge #158, and K.S.K.J. Chick loved spending time with friends and family. He often spent time outdoors, where he was an avid hunter and fisherman, as well as taking pride in tending to his garden. Frequently, he would spend time at his cabin, "Camp Ontelaunee," in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania. One of his greatest joys was spending endless time with his grandchildren Charlie and Lauren, sharing stories, laughter, and wisdom. Chick was very loved, and will be greatly missed by many. He is survived by his loving family: wife; Loretta Baitt Frank, daughter; Sandy Craig Madden, grandchildren Charles and Lauren Madden, and inlaws; Caroline Frank, Doris Panik, Virginia Baitt, Betty Mattwig, and Rudolph Marilyn Baitt, and many wonderful nieces, nephews, their spouses and children.
