Jackie was such a good man! He loved his family and would do anything for his neighbors. He and Marie were next door neighbors to my parents for over 30 years. After my dad died, their kindness and generosity toward my mother was endless. They included her in all of their family get togethers and were always there to lend her a helping hand if needed. She was always at the top of their hurricane evacuation plans. When they evacuated, she was in the truck with them. I live in Texas, so their love for her meant everything to me.
Jackie didn't have a whole lot to say, but when he talked it was definitely worth listening to. He was the real deal and could always be counted on. It was an honor in my life to have known one of the "good guys."
All my love to each of you as I deeply share your sorrow and loss.
