Gumbo Limbo Nature Center’s observation tower, demolished  for safety concerns by the City of Boca Raton in 2015 was rebuilt with a gift of more than half a million dollars from Jacob Kosowsky’s parents, Stephen Kosowsky and Sharilyn Jones. The family and friends of Jacob recently gathered for a private celebration of Jacob's Outlook atop the new observation tower within Gumbo Limbo.  The celebration started with some drinks and snacks at the fish tanks and honorary words from his parents and sister Mia. A 2016 graduate of Boca Raton High School, Jacob died in a 2018 Utah traffic accident. At the time Jacob was enrolled at Vanderbilt University.  Tim Stepien/The Coastal Star
