    I met Jackie in Springdale in 1975 when we were putting up Real Estate signs across the street from each other. I transferred my license to Century 21 Beacon Realty where Jackie was broker/co owner. He was a very caring, kind man and a very good leader. We became very good friends during our years together in real estate. I cherished his friendship throughout the years. I’m saddened to hear he has passed away. I send prayers of comfort for the family he has left behind. I know he is with Jeannie now and he’s at peace. Elaine Sample-Gayle, Shreveport, Louisiana

    I am sad as all of those who knew Jackie are. SIXTY-FIVE years ago, while in the Air Force, I met one of the best friends of my life.

    We communicated and always looked forward to our next visits through the years. Jackie was the most honest and true friend I ever had. I will miss him so much.
