Robert William "B.J." Jackson

BJ was a friend for most of my adult life. I regret that illness prevents me from attending the service.

May you rest in peace Bob. I haven´r seen you since our college days, but will always remember how happy, sincere and enthusiastic you were. It is so true that every room you walked into was lit up. My condolences to Tim and Bob´s family. Thanks for you warmth and kindness BJ.

Our friendship began in the summer of 1963, in Homestead, Florida. You introduced me to the love of cats. Bob you were always a kind, loving and a great friend. I never remember you ever saying anything mean or hurtful. Always so thoughtful of people and animals. When I think of bravery, I think of you as I can´t think of anything that you were ever afraid to do. You even faced death with dignity and bravery. Thank you for all the gardenias from your Mom´s bush by the front door. The...

BJ did indeed light up every room he entered. He was an incredibly talented musician and his singing of The Lord´s Prayer was always a sacred moment. He was a great music director and it was always a pleasure to lead worship with him. Just thinking about him as I write brings a smile to my face. He was the best. Prayers for Tim as he grieves the loss of this great man.

Tim and family, We all feel the void but the continued love surrounds us! We are all the more better for having Bob (and you) in our lives! Blessings and peace be with you. Love you!
