Edgar E. Jacobs, a former longtime resident of Palo Alto, died of pneumonia on July 16, 2011 at Stanford Hospital. He was 82 years old. He is survived by his son David and daughter-in-law Elga of Palo Alto; his daughters Terry of Palo Alto and Meg of Petaluma; and his granddaughter Sonya of Sausalito. Jenny, his wife of nearly 50 years, died in 2000. A native of Idaho, Edgar served in the Army and then attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where he met his wife Jenny. He received degrees in physics and business from Reed and M.I.T.. After working in Massachusetts, Ohio, and England, Edgar moved with his family to Palo Alto in 1963. He worked for many years as an industrial economist at Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International). His consulting work took him to Europe numerous times, as well as to Brazil for an extended period. Edgar had a keen love of nature, and enjoyed spending time birdwatching in the
Palo Alto Baylands Preserve. He was intellectually curious, with a broad knowledge of science and a great interest in world history and art. He and his wife made close friends in the Palo Alto area, and they also had great affection for their children’s friends, who were always welcome in their home. In recent years, Edgar had lived in Pocatello, Idaho, where he renewed old friendships. After being diagnosed with lung cancer at the beginning of this year, he returned to Palo Alto to be with his family while undergoing medical treatment at the Stanford Cancer Institute at Stanford Hospital. A celebration of Edgar’s life will be held at a later date in Palo Alto.
