Fairway Mortgage Athletic
Scholarship
In Memory of
Darryll “Jake” Jacobson & Robert “Ruby” Tarrant
In Living Memory
of
Coach
“Bruno” Hammond
This
scholarship was founded in January 2000 in the memory of Darryll
Jacobson, Robert Tarrant and Living Memory of Coach Bruce Hammond. As
long time residents of Pardeeville, WI and supporters of high school
athletics it is a fitting way for the employees of Fairway Mortgage to
honor these men. The late Darryll Jacobson is the father of our
president/owner Steven Jacobson and the late Robert Tarrant is the
father of David Tarrant who is one of our managers in Arizona. Bruce
Hammond is the father of Joel Hammond who is our regional manager of
our first branch in the Fairway Branches. Coach Hammond was the head
basketball coach at Pardeeville for 12 years. Career Record: 178-48.
Thanks
to Steve for giving many of the Fairway employees a great opportunity
to succeed in the mortgage business. We honor Jake, Ruby, and Bruno
with this scholarship.
Jake
and Ruby were fathers, husbands, mentors but more important our
friends. They always took the time to shoot buckets, throw a ball to
us, console us after a tough loss, praise us after a victory.
Athletics was a very important part of all of our lives at
Pardeeville High School. The lessons of competition taught us many
valuable lessons that we use at Fairway everyday in our business.
The
Fairway Mortgage Athletic Scholarship is to be awarded to a senior
male or female athlete who represents the highest ideals of high
