Chuck was born on November 12, 1921, in Brooklyn, New York. He honorably served in the United States Army as a World War II Veteran where he served in all nine campaigns of the war. His bravery was recently recognized by the American Legion Riders who framed his medals in a shadow box and presented them to him. Among the medals was his Silver Star for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States and four Bronze Stars for his heroic and meritorious achievements and service in combat zones. His bravery and determination made him a true American hero.

He is survived by his daughter, Barbara Gunder and husband Robert of Indiana; son, Charles P. “Buddy” Jacobi Jr. of Newport; half-brothers, Tony Jensen of West Virginia and Ted Jensen and wife Jeanette of Wisconsin; grandchildren, Bobby Gunder and fiancé Colleen Barrett, and Leslie Gunder; step-granddaughter, Terri Parsons and husband Andrew; and great-grandchildren, Angel Ramirez, Caroline Shunk, and Bjorn Gray.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Olivia Jacobi; father, Charles H. Jacobi; daughter, Pamela Dow; and daughter-in-law, Doris Jacobi; grandson, Jeffrey Gunder; and great-granddaughter, Freya Kate Gray.
