So sorry to hear of Inge’s passing. My memories of attending grade school in Nohly, Montana with Inge and his sisters will always be fondly remembered.
I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. (2 Tim 4:6-7)
Finish your work, then rest. Since rest for you with God is rest forever.
May God’ s blessing be bestowed upon all those that mourn Inge’s passing. We have all been blessed in having known and been touched by him.

I was very sorry to hear of Inge’s passing. I know that these last few years have been hard. I knew him as a fellow volunteer at the Montana Military Museum. His work with Bob Morgan on the historical displays at the museum will be a lasting memorial to him and his deep interest in the stories and sacrifice of Montana veterans. There never was a more dedicated volunteer than Inge Jacobson. He is missed by all who knew him, a kind and gentle man.

Inge was a powerfully quiet man with a smile that always made me wonder what he was
up to. As a fellow member of Saint John’s Lutheran Church and a champion of the Montana

Happy Trails, Inge!
