Jackie was a friend of my brothers, Stan & Rick. He was in and out of our house often, & we all enjoyed our interaction at the Rodgers’ home as well, because Claudia was my dear friend also. I have so many warm, fuzzy memories of our visits in both homes, along with some funny shenanigans. I remember well when he & Stan entered the army on the buddy system during the Vietnam Nam conflict. Unfortunately, they were separated shortly afterward. Sadly, with graduation, & leaving the area for college, I didn’t see Jackie again. He was always kind, & a really dear person. My deepest condolences to Claudia, David, Dan, & Jane. May God hold you close, & comfort you all.
Please wait...
