Hi Sherri Jo and the family,

I am sorry to read of Dr. Jackson's passing. I was president of the student congress at JC 1976-77. "Dr. J" (as I called him) was among my best advisors and always gave excellent advice.

He was o good, fair man. My deepest sympathy!

Mr. Jackson,
You were a mentor to all of us SOUTH HIGH TROJAN kids.
We respected and loved you for your commitment to making us positive citizens towards the future of our lives.
Much Love ❤
