Jackie loved the Army, so watching MASH was one of his favorite past times. He loved to garden and build birdhouses. Jackie enjoyed building model cars and attending car shows.
Jackie is survived by his nieces and nephews, Hayley, Jeannie (Lucas), Raymond (Taylor), and Micheal; as well as numerous great-nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Raymond; and sister, Ruth.
The family would like to give a special thanks to the staff at The Woodlands Nursing Home.
