So many fond memories of Dr. Jackson. My sincere condolences to the family. May you rest in peace, my friend.
Dear Nancy and family, So very sorry to hear about the passing of your Dear Husband, Father and Grandfather. Harold and Michael were very good friends when they were both in Rotary and the Choir at St. George's Anglican Church. And, of course, we attended many Rotary and Choir functions together. Although we drifted apart after you moved to London, we often said "We should drive to London and see Nancy and Harold", but something always interfered. Harold was a very kind and humble man as I recall, but he had some great accomplishments that he could have told the world about. But he was not that kind of a man. He will be missed by the many people that knew him. My Deepest Sympathy on your Loss, Anna Blythe
Dr. Jackson ("Doctor J") was the first senior leader I was exposed to after joining McNeil/Johnson & Johnson fresh out of university. He was deeply admired and respected and though at work there was always a level of formality and awe when around him, we also knew him to be witty, kind, and deeply caring. There's a bit of him still in those of us privileged to have known and worked with him. My sincere condolences to the entire family.
Mr.C jackson, Beloved grandfather of my friend, I hope you have a peaceful rest and know you have my deepest condolences.
To: The Jackson Family My deepest condolences for your loss. It is my highest belief that Mr. C. Jackson will find his way to Heaven or another positive afterlife as, although I did not know him, I'm sure he was a wonderful person.
Hal was certainly a kind man and devoted to his family, singing and Rotary. I enjoyed knowing him through Rotary in many capacities. I'm sorry he's gone so soon. He will be well remembered. My deepest sympathies.
Our deepest condolences to the Jackson Family. From the Jackson Family in Alberta.
