Just learned of Bill's passing when I read his obituary in "The Southside Times." I first met Bill in 1976 when I went to work at the American Legion Auxiliary National Headquarters. I remember his days at the Indiana Legion and National Headquarters. He was always good-hearted and friendly when we saw each other in passing. When my dad died in 1983, Bill wrote me a very kind, reverent, and touching note of condolence, and I still have that note in my keepsakes. All the Jackson family have my deep and sincere sympathy. May Bill rest in the eternal peace of the Master of all.

Sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He had a lot of integrity in everything he did. He was respected and mentored by Barney Breedlove. Past Department Finance Officer of The Anerican Legion Department of Indiana. I've known Bill since 1970 or so. May he rest in Peace. Prayers of comfort for his family.

Bill was a good friend and great to have as a partner in any golf match! He made so many friends playing in the Bullpen at Canebrake and at the annual TRISTATE GOLF OUTINGs with guys from several states including Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee. He will be remembered very fondly by all! I will miss his good humor and quick wit
