I'm glad to have known Jacko for over 40 years. A true friend and someone I always enjoyed being around. A dry sense of humor carried him far. He had a keen understanding of his surroundings and where he had come from. A very patient man who I will miss. Johnita & I were privileged to know Jacko and will cherish our memory. Our condolences to Helena, Dan, Tom and Sandra and their family.

Very sad to learn of Jacko's passing. He was the 1st person I played handball with when I moved to Houston in late 1975. We were friends for many years. I'll trust he's playing handball again with some of our other friends who have passed on. We all had a passion for the game.
