Many years ago while working at Raytheon Phil and Ihad some great discussions over a number of subjects and many were controversial. We discussed our time in the Marine Corps. It was always a pleasure and I will certainly miss Phil. I’m sorry I couldn’t attend more of the lunches after we retired.

I grew up living across the street from Mr. Jackson. My deepest sympathies to his wife and kids at this difficult time. He was a good man.

Growing up the Jackson household was my second home. Both Phil and Rebecca were very welcoming and gracious to me (although calling them "Phil and Rebecca" and not "Mr. and Mrs. Jackson" still sounds strange to me). Phil obviously loved and cared for his family greatly and the world is a lesser place with his absence. My heartfelt condolences to Rebecca, Brian, Kim and his entire family.
