To the entire Jackson Family....we were shocked to hear of Bob's death. Although I haven't seen him in years, I have many photos and memories of him from vacations and occasions at Nana and Pa Jackson's house on Swift Street in Avoca. He is with Jeannie now and not suffering anymore. Bob's cousin Peggy Haley Dundon, Jim and Colleen Dundon (Lackawanna, NY)
