Jacob's Art

Enjoy these samples of Jacob Wren Throckmorton's Art. Jacob Wren Throckmorton was 19 years old when he died unexpectedly in his sleep of myocarditis on July 22, 2014. Jacob was a lifelong resident of Bedford and had been volunteering at the Bedford Council on Aging since seventh grade. He worked with Pat Le Van and Vicki Umanita for the Saturday parties and birthday events. Jacob would serve food and drinks, sit and chat with the seniors, and on occasion, bring his guitar and play and sing. He wanted to be helpful and to bring a smile to their faces, in any way possible.

Jacob was preparing to attend Lesley University College of Art and Design in September 2014. He was excited to be starting art school and was also excited that he would be close enough to be able to come back for his Saturdays with Vicki and his senior friends.

Jacob would be so proud and honored to be part of this event that encourages the senior citizens and children of Bedford to display their creativity and talents.
