Henry "Jake" Rhinebolt  R.I.P.

Saturday 19 June 2010;     Jake  suddenly died at home.

 


            Today, June 19, 2010;  around 1500 hours I received a telephone call from JeanRhinebolt, Jake's wife that he was dead.  
She said she thought that his pacemaker failed and that by the time EMS arrived at their cabin, it was too late. 
I will miss him dearly as will other SEALs that had the pleasure to work with him. 
Without reservations, Jake was an Officer and a Gentleman of the highest caliber. 
He was a SEAL operator that shined with honor and courage.  


Our "Band of Brothers" have lost one of our best.   
May he Rest in Peace.

20 June 2010

Doc Rio,
I talked to  Jake  on the phone earlier this week. He sounded great and we planned a visit to his place later this summer. My favorite Jake story was when he was the OIC of three ST2 platoons in the Delta. He was a great boss and did the job I expected, keep the rest of the Navy out of our business and let the platoon get on with the war.

 We were in My Tho and Jake in Can To so we would talk on the phone every few weeks and he would visit every month or so. When visiting, Jake was happy to take a position in the patrols and was great at carrying his load as an operator. He wanted to know how we were operating and that we had all the support we needed but he did not intrude in my job of running the platoon. 

He called one Sunday am and we spent 20 minutes or so going through all the usual stuff and as we were finishing-up he asked if I would buy him some chewing tobacco which I was glad to do but I wonder why his store was out of such a basic need. Only then did he tell me he had taken one in the gut last night and up the river from My Tho at the Army hospital. For me that was Jake.
