Doug and I met Jackson through his lovely wife JoEllen. She and I worked together in DISD. I fell in love with her then we all fell in love with Jackson! We shared many a dinner, party, lunch with them and countless glasses of wine!! We've had many memorable times together and the pictures to show for it!! Love you both still and think of you often! We will miss Jackson at our next gathering ( which we hope will be soon JoEllen), but we will toast and share many tales of Jackson! Hugs, Susan & Doug Endicott

As my brother Eric's best friend, Trafton was a fixture during my formative years and beyond. Five years younger, I clamored for opportunities to join them cavorting or bicycling through University Park, SMU, and Snider Plaza, shuttling between our house on Fondren and the Bogerts' dark red brick duplex on Rosedale. Jackson and Jo Ellen were unfailingly kind and gracious during lo, these many decades. I recall Eric sharing many a tale of fine times and stimulating conversations at The Grape. Jackson's Christmas letters were eagerly awaited at our house, and are missed even now. I send my condolences to Trafton and Jo Ellen during this time of loss.

JoEllen and Trafton, I just got the news from Phyllis—-you know how deeply Rick and I feel about Jackson—he was such fun and you two, Jo Ellen, were such a darling couple. I specifically remember you in your many retro Hats and Jackson, cool as ever in his SPATS!!! You two were very generous with dinner outings to the Fairmont, Landmark and Park Cities Clubs—and to your home (where you always served the faculty healthy appetizers!!!!!) Jackson enjoyed us all and especially, you, his doting wife. Jackson was very lucky to have you both by his side for the past years. The care you gave him was exceptional. I know how much you loved him—-you never stopped giving……..Much love and God Bless! Lois (and of course, Rick)

Trafton: I was very sorry when I heard about the loss of your father. I enjoyed reading about him – he had a great life! He must have been very proud of you. Times like these are very difficult, I know. Your faith, and the love of family and friends, will guide you and your mother through this. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

I had the opportunity to work several storms with Jackson and Louise Evans. Most memorable was the hurricane in 1970 in Corpus Christi. We checked into the hotel and no electricity or lights for a couple of days. We had brought some canned food and snacks to eat, so we made it. We were finally able to get some gas as extension cords we run to a few gas pumps. Police department issued the adjusters passes so we could go into any area of town no matter the damage. Joe Wilkerson was there also and took us all out to dinner one night as I recall. I really enjoyed working with Jackson. He was a real trooper and very good organizer. I have thought about him several times over the years. Ron Drake Granbury, Tx

Growing up in the 70s, Trafton was my best friend, and I spent many entertaining hours in the company of Trafton's parents, both of whom I admire and cherish. I was very sorry to learn of Jackson's demise. I have so many memories of him. He was the life of any dinner gathering or any party. My earliest memory goes back to Trafton's birthday party during 1st grade. We were playing some game in which the children were blindfolded, and as Jackson wrapped a red handkerchief over a lad's eyes, he quipped that this was his handkerchief for cleaning the sewer! Later in life he gave much good and sage advice on the subject of career paths, investments, and all manner of worldly wisdom. I cannot believe that he is no longer with us. From Trafton's friend Eric

I first met Jackson and his wife Jo Ellen when our sons began first grade together, and our connection lasted through the ensuing years. Jackson always had a smile on his face, and he hosted us at many fine eating establishments. We were always impressed by his work ethic and his morning runs. Reading about the traumatic events in his childhood and youth, it seems amazing that he forged ahead, working steadily at his job while investing in and owning rental properties. To have overcome the disadvantages he knew early on shows a resilience that few people can match. My sympathy goes to Jo Ellen and to Trafton at this time in their lives..

Jo Ellen its been a long time since I last saw you and Jackson. I very much enjoyed working out with the two of you at the Plaza Athletic Club, including the thoughtful and interesting conversations. My very best to you as you move on in life after having lost Jackson. My heart is with you in this time of grief. Bill Bloomgarden
