Prior to their marriage Jackie joined the National Guard where he served his country for six years. Jackie retired from U. S Pipe and Foundry in Bessemer after 42 years of employment.

Jackie was a loving husband, a perfect Father and an even greater Grandfather but most of all he was a shining example of a man of Christ. Jackie had the most loving heart and always lived to serve Christ.

You never saw my Father without a smile on his face and a quick joke. He was loved by all who knew him.
