Jackie and I go back to childhood days. Our families met together on many occasions. Jackie was one of the greatest friends that I had. I could say Amen to the comments that was written in his obit. He will be missed, however we know "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" and because we know where he is, we know that we as a Born Again Child of God. We will see him again. My Prayers to the family during this time.
