A proud American through and through. A man who loved God and Country and was not ashamed to let you know it. To hear Bob Jackson pray was like eavesdropping on his private conversation with his Lord. A Christian man who will be missed by all who knew him##imported-begin##Nelda Muirhead##imported-end##
