Dear the Family of Professor Jackson, My deepest condolences go out to the family of David Jackson. He was an amazing professor at the University of Toronto and will be deeply missed. He made going to class fun! By far the best university professor in my undergraduate years at UTM. Forever I will remember Professor Jackson.
