Alphonse Jackson Jr.

Alphonse Jackson, Jr., was known to me as Mr. Jackson at Central Jr. High School in Shreveport, LA. He taught me Social Studies in 1955 and encouraged me to run for Student Council President. I was a natural born orator but I needed assistance in correct enuciation. Mr. Jackson taught me to enuciate and I became a good orator. I used my God given talent with what Mr. Jackson taught me and used it for God's Glory. I retired from AT&T as a manager in 1998 using those skills. To God be the Glory...

With deepest sympathy.

A TRUE GENTLEMAN. A wonderful advocate, teacher, mentor and friend.

Wishing you solace in your time of grief. We will keep you in our prayers.

He was my mentor at the legislature. If I had a question about strategy or procedure, he was someone I could go to for advice. Whenever we were in a committee room where I had limited wheelchair access, he would always come over to me. Very few people left working the legislature who will help us young folks.

The Jackson family will be in my prayers.

Louisiana is a state which has so many wonderful people and so many legends in their own time. Alphonse was one of those and shall remain one for ever. He taught me so much about state government and government affairs. A strong man who could have used that strength to control others but he chose to be gentle and fair and as a result he was loved and admire by so many. A real example for us all to follow. Rest in Peace my ole friend. I will see you in the great "here after".

Sincere condolences to your family for your loss. May your cherished memories sustain you. Proverbs 3:4,5

May the works I've done speak for me. When I'm resting in my grave, There's nothing more to be said; May the works (the works I've done) Let it speak for me.

RIP thou good & faithful servant. "You done good"
