Thanks for the update Regina.
ReplyDeleteI had the pleasure of meeting your Dad a few times and he has had a big impact in my financial journey.
My deepest condolences and may he rest in peace. 🙏🏼
Thank you CW8888. You will always been remembered. Still remembered the chatbox we had in bullythebear
ReplyDeleteVery sad to hear this. When I first started blogging, your dad was an inspiration to me. Later on, I found out he was working in the same company as me and we even met just before he retired from his work. Still remembered his happiness from achieving financial independence and being able to retire from his full time work and he also shared many advices for me.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences to you and your family.
This is so sudden, as he just had a post last month. Unfortunately, he is still relatively young at 67 years old.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't really know him, but I have read his posts over the years.
My deepest condolences to uncle's family.
一路走好
Rest in peace, Uncle Jacob.
ReplyDeleteYou are my inspiration to the journey of financial freedom, RIP
ReplyDeleteSilent reader of many years.
ReplyDeleteThank you uncle.
On behalf of all who like to read your blog,
ReplyDeleteWe all shall agree with Regina about his father's characters.
Regardless of what you think.
i definitely agree.
Fare thee well, my friend.
God Bless You
RIP.

ReplyDeleteApology, Regina her father's daughter not his...
ReplyDeleteWonder his blog can be kept here as a "legacy" useful for the younger generations to learn?
Uncle has been an inspiration. No more pain now. Please take care.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences to you and your family members
ReplyDeleteUncle Jacob has taught me a lot from his blog.
My condolences to you and your family
ReplyDeleteyour father was an inspiration to many stock investors like me
ReplyDeleteI've never met CW before, so I'm not close to him although I read and commented on his blog occasionally because of the quality of commenters it attracted, like Spurs. One thing that separates him from other bloggers is his blog does not even have advertisements despite the high traffic. On this aspect, he is superior to money-face people like me who have google ads on my blog. The lack of adverts tells us he is someone who shares without an agenda to milk his followers later. Nothing wrong with trying to make some money if the blogger provides value to his followers. It's just refreshing to have a blogger who does not do that.
ReplyDeleteFrom the outpouring of messages since this bad news, I can see he will be remembered fondly. This is testament to the value that he has created to his readers. It is one of the legacies he leaves behind.
Regina, I think you and your brothers will feel proud to have a father like CW.
Deepest condolences to the family. CW8888 wisdom and lifestyle has been an inspiration to me
ReplyDeleteHi Regina,
ReplyDeleteMy sincere and deepest condolences to you and your family. It really saddens me to know the news. Still, it’s good to see y’all family getting on strong today at the wake. Also glad to know at least your dad left in peace and without much pain.
CW or Jacob is definitely a huge inspirational figure in the financial blogosphere, being smart, humble and peaceful and always giving good and logical advices. If not for covid, guess we should have meet more times. It’s a joy to get to know him for the last decade.
CW Jacob.. may you rest in peace and we are sure you are in the bosom of Abraham now! God bless you and your family.

My most heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Have always enjoyed reading the short and concise posts by Uncle CW Jacob. A great loss indeed to our local financial blogosphere. Uncle CW has always been an inspiration to many like me trying to attain FI. Will miss his unique & distinct sense of humor and sharp intellect embedded in many of his posts.
ReplyDeleteMy deepest condolences. Your dad was an inspiration to myself and many others. May he rest in peace
ReplyDeleteDear Regina, my deepest condolences to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteUncleCW8888 had unselfishly shared so much wisdom through his writings here, he was a really great inspiration to me. I hope his blog can remain as a legacy to continue inspiring more people in their investment endeavor.
