Joel Jacobson, a journalists with Halifax’s Chronicle Herald who was renowned for telling positive stories about Nova Scotians died unexpectedly last week while on a family trip to London. He was 81 years old.
His former colleague John DeMont wrote a touching piece for the Saltwire Network last week. In it he says: “Everyone I talked to, as well as those lamenting his passing on social media platforms like Facebook, spoke of his warmth, and kindness. They told of a man seemingly interested in everything and everyone, whose sphere of influence extended into the journalism, sport and Jewish communities, who personally supported so many causes and touched so many lives.”
