Not sure what to say?

Dr. Jackson was a mentor to me. He helped me along the way while I was in college and eventually encouraged me to go to medical school. He was a kind and gentle influence on my life which I will never forget. After finishing medical school I spent years as a missionary doctor in Southeast Asia and eventually a professor in a major US medical school. If I had not had men like dr. Jackson my life, I'm sure my life would have been very different. I owe him a great debt gratitude.

Dr.Jackson saved my life when I was diagnosed with Graves disease in 1974.He was so kind and compassionate. He will be missed.

I worked in Nuclear Medicine while I was a student at the Bloom School and then Dr. Jackson hired me as the front desk receptionist and his transcriptionist. Dr. Jackson was a wonderful man and was a great mentor to me. He also helped me get a job in the Philadelphia area when I got married in 1970. He will always be in my thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace ! God bless you.. Carol (Charney) Bohn

Dear Jackson Family,
I just learned of Dr. Jackson's passing. Hugs and prayers to all of you. I first met Dr. Jackson at Monaghan Presbyterian Church. During my senior year at Elizabethtown College I did my Social Work internship at Harrisburg Hospital and Dr. Jackson graciously drove me almost everyday. I have the greatest admiration for him and Mrs. Jackson. Peace of Christ be with you all.

I am so sadden in hearing of the passing
of my dear glorious teacher and mentor in the practice of internal medicine. I was his resident at Harrisburg Hospital from 1963 to 1967. Whatever I have achieved in my practice over the years I owe in good part to his unending strength and kindness.
May his memory be a blessing to us all.
I believe he kept a drawing I gave him.

Dear Jackson Family,
I was very Blessed to be trained in Nuclear Medicine at Harrisburg Hospital, in the 1970's. I was a less than stellar student, howver he had taught all of our class of 1974, very well. My career started out on Lancaster, PA., with jobs in Philadelphia, PA, ( one at Hospital of University of Pennsylvania), as well as the surrounding area. I had ended up continuing college, working towards a Bachelor in Biology, from St. Joseph's University, taking more courses in the...

The Alexander Family has lost a great friend and wonderful person. From shared family vacations at the New Jersey beach over 50 years ago to many Monday evenings at Eclectic Club, the memories of George are many and cherished. Our family will miss him greatly and we will keep his family in our prayers during this time of loss.

Our apologies for a delayed response, but we were traveling at the time of his passing.

For all of the Jackson/Kern family, we are holding you in prayer.
We felt so welcomed by George and Alyce at family gatherings, and we hold them in high esteem. We have fond memories of times with you and the two of them.
May the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, draw near to you now.

May you rest in peace ❤
