Albert Jackman Obituary

After months of declining health, Albert Boyce Jackman known to all as "Skipp" sadly passed away at his home in Boca Raton, on May 25th, 2022. Born August 31, 1945, in Washington D.C., he was predeceased by his mother, Harriet Alice Jackman, (McMillan), and his father, Andrew William Jackman. His family moved to Daytona Beach, Florida where he attended Osceola Elementary School and later, they moved to south Florida where he graduated from Pompano Senior High School. He was a resident of Boca Raton over 50 years. He attended Palm Beach Jr. College but left when he discovered his interest in the world of design. Skipp had a long and successful career as a talented architectural designer. He loved nothing more than to create and design, drawing in the early years by hand then as technology developed, on the computer. He enthusiastically embraced every new drafting technology over the years and enjoyed every project he took on. It was his life's passion and he never slowed down, continuing to work right up until the end of his life. A happy and fun-loving person, Skipp loved life, people and was the eternal optimist, always up for an adventure. He never met a stranger and could make anyone laugh. His parties were legendary and when he was along, everyone would always have a good time. He was a good friend to all and had many lifelong friends. Skipp will be lovingly remembered and missed by his wife, Elizabeth Dobbs Fletcher "Betsy"; his two sons, James Boyce Jackman, and Alex Arthur Jackman; and his brother, Andrew William Jackman "Bill". Skipp's smile, jokes, stories, and always present sense of humor will be missed by many. Professional arrangements by: Gary Panoch Funeral Home, 561-997-8580 www.gpanochfunerals.com

I spoke to Skipp dozens of times over a period of 20+ years. We had a professional relationship, but we often shared stories about our personal lives with one another. I got to know him well, even though I never met him face-to-face. I can certainly vouch for his work ethic and his devotion to architectural design. He continued to work on his drawings even when he was in the hospital and his health was declining. I will miss talking to him, and I send my condolences to his loved ones.

I will miss Skip very much. He was a regular figure around my office. He had worked with my Dad since the early 1970s. What a sweetheart. Funny, honest, reliable, positive. Qualities you don't find much anymore all in one person. It was obvious he loved life and his work and of course Betsy. He was a good friend to have. I am lucky to have known him.

The author of the obit, was totally accurate and true, he was a huge influence on me. And everyone love having him around. Crazy smart, and the best lunch buddy ever, I had lunch with Skipp hundreds on times, his wit was amazing, as he was never a loss for words. And my life long business was a true mentor from him. I will never forget him....ever. Thank you Skipp for being a dear friend to me. Bobby.
