Will never forget your warmth and understanding.
Second grade teacher at Kentopp 1973.

I can remember my 1st day of kindergarten at Henry E. Kentopp Elementary Sch. 36 some odd years ago, and I was scared to death. Mr Jackson took me under his wing, and from that point on, I felt as if I could conquer the world. He will definitely be missed.

I will always remember Uncle Buddy with much love and respect. Whenever I saw him he always had some story to tell me about someone from South Jersey. I will miss him and Mom Jess they both gave so much to others. We all were bless to have him in our lives. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Dear Jackson Family,
My Mother read of J's passing in the paper yesterday ... and we have talked since of the wonderful Eastern School teachers who were such a close-knit staff; and J's many accomplishments that followed. You all are in our prayers as you go through this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Fran Patrick & her daughter Beth

To the Jackson Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband, father, and grandfather. I received Anita's email notifying me of your loss. Anita has ALWAYS spoken so highly of her father, with love, respect and admiration for all the guidance and wisdom he gave her. Although he and I never met, I felt at though I knew him through these stories. What a great man to have left such a rich legacy to his family, former students, colleagues, and friends. May those...

Garfield,
My prayers and condolences are with you. I have nothing but love for you and your family that covers a lifetime.
