Dec 27 1963, beyond the sunset, July 31, 1976.
Jackie, killed in a helicopter crash in U.A.E. To see him was to see a child, but to know him was to be amazed by his adult ways. In only 12 years he grew to be a man. Jackie's life was that of adventure and was patterned after his Dad Jack and his Uncle Jerry. Rest son 'til we meet in heaven.
