James Dow Jacobson, aged 87, passed away on January 28, 2022. Dow was born on November 11, 1934 in Newtown, Missouri. He was the son of Bonnie Jewell Markel and Henry Francis Jacobson. He graduated in 1952 from Northeast High School in Kansas City, Missouri. Dow began his career in construction in 1958, and later founded Dow Jacobson Construction Company. In this chosen career, he built many homes in Kansas City, Lansing, Leavenworth, and Basehor, Kansas, including the subdivisions known as Adams Acres, Sherwood Forest, Hickory Ridge, Fawn Valley, Knollwood, and South 3rd Court.

Dow was amazed that he could take a giant stack of lumber and turn it into a house. He received his last call to build a house when he was 80 years old. He truly loved his profession.
