If one called Mr. Jacobs "Jake", when addressing him personally, I could see that as disrespect.
So many of my teachers would refer to him as Jake, when asking me to "play it like Jake plays it", or talking about how great he is/was. Jake is a nickname; so is Bud. I have never gone up to Mr. Jacobs, and called him "Jake", and I don't think too many of us have called him anything but Mr. Jacobs to him personally.
If you really think that his nickname should be erased from memory, you are entitled to erase it from yours; I prefer to remember a good spirited man who was worthy of having a nickname, and was a profound positve influence on humans that happened to be musicians.
