Robert Rubin Jacobs, 70, passed away from pancreatic cancer on December 28th, 2021, at his home in Herndon, Virginia. He was surrounded by his best friend and wife of forty-five years, Patricia (Belanger) Jacobs, two daughters, Natalie Jacobs of Arlington, Virginia, Rachael (Jacobs) Pandzik of Portland, Oregon, and son-in-law Alex Pandzik of Portland, Oregon. On July 9th, 1951, Robert was born in Washington, D.C., to the late Laurence E. Jacobs and Hannah Rubin Jacobs. He was a graduate of the University of Maryland (1976) and Illinois College of Optometry (1981). In the early 1980s, Robert started his optometric practice in McLean, Virginia, specializing in care for patients with learning-related vision issues, traumatic brain injuries, and sports-related vision improvement. Patricia and Natalie have worked alongside him, making it a successful family business in which he provided care to multiple generations of families. In addition to being a life-long golf enthusiast, Robert was a sports fanatic, with an optimism that only a true Washington sports team fan could have. He is survived by his sister Eileen (Douglas) Feldman of Bethesda, Maryland, and their three children, Shannah Feldman, Jeremy (Grace) Feldman, and Madeleine Feldman and aunt Louise (Rubin) Piver. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
