"Mr. Jacko was a wonderful family man and raised two wonderful children. He was an example of a courageous man who met every challenge and wanted to help everyone. His teachings by example live on through his children who make the world better every day by the big, and little things they do. He loved his family as much as his family loved him. May his memory always be a blessing."
