JACOBS, Harold Simon, 83, Tucson, resident since 1944, passed away on December 1, 1995 after a lengthy illness. He was born in Baltimore, MD on April 4, 1912, and educated in New York City where he worked on Wall Street for several years. He served in the Merchant Marine from 1935 through the end of World War II and was decorated for having survived the sinking of his ship. At the conclusion of his war service, he returned to Tucson. For several years, Harold and his wife Gloria owned and operated the Santa Rita Nut Shop in the Santa Rita Hotel building downtown. After the sale of the shop, Harold joined his father Joseph Jacobs in operating the Concrete Block Company. In 1951 Harold joined the Prudential Insurance Company where he soon became a staff manager. He decided not to pursue further promotions as they would have taken him away from Tucson. Instead, he formed his own agency affiliated with Midland Mutual Life. He worked with that agency until his retirement in 1985. He next volunteered as a Medicare counselor with Tucson Medical Center Auxiliary. In 1989, Harold joined ReliaStar as a medical claims examiner and later became part of the mail support staff. He remained in that position until August of this year when poor health forced his retirement. Over the years, Harold has been a board member of the Jewish Family and Children’s Service. In recent years, he was a member of the Cactus Mariners, an organization of Merchant Marine veterans. In addition to his wife of 51 years, Gloria Greenman Jacobs, Mr. Jacobs is survived by children, John and Mary Ann Jacobs of Tucson, Ken Jacobs of Philippa Poze of Santa Monica, CA and Jim and Amy Jacobs of Atlanta, GA; grandchildren, Michael and Amanda Jacobs of Atlanta and Dannielle Wheeler of Las Vegas; great grandchildren, Nathaniel and Oriana Hensley of Las Vegas; sister-in-law, Beverly Green; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jack and Susan Greenman; and numerous nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews.
