Ambrose Cyprian Jackson Jr.

I had known Ambrose almost all of my life. His family was always very warm and friendly. His sister and I were in the Girl Scouts together. I knew of his wonderful musical talents and his kind and gentle ways and big heart with the smile to match. We had lost touch for many years but I was so glad to see him when he returned to Washington for his 50th class reunion from St. Johns. We had kept in touch since then. I am glad for the conversations we had during his illness. He was always so...

Ambrose was my locker partner during our first year at St. Johns College High school. We sat side by side in the trumpet section of the band. He was an extremely talented musician. The “tone” he mastered at age 14 was truly magnificent. Always the gentleman, scholar and good comrade; I have often thought of him as the years flew by. It was a joy to see him at our 50th class reunion. He will always be in my prayers.

Ambrose Jackson was a wonderful friend of the Pinque & Majeski Families. We truly loved him and considered him part of our family. He had a true zest for life and we enjoyed spending time with him; from church-related functions to the time he played at a nursing home with my brother Anthony entertaining patients. He lit up a room with his beautiful face, contagious smile and deep belly laugh. The world is a sadder place without you Ambrose. Rest in Peace My friend!

Our deepest sympathy to Ambrose's family.It was great seeing him and listening to his music at our 50th reunion.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Ambrose's family~ I had taken private trumpet lessons from Ambrose throughout my high school years. He was a great teacher, an amazing trumpeter and a very kind hearted person. He will be greatly missed!

In memory of Dr. Ambrose Jackson Jr: We, the Anniversary committee of the AME Zion Church of Newburgh, N.Y. had the pleasure of having Dr.Jackson play for us during the dinner hour of our 175th church anniversary at West Point a few years ago. He played beautifully. His music will be sadly missed as will he.
