Ed served in World War II in the 9th Army Air Force as a certified cryptographer. After the war, he graduated in 1948 from the University of Georgia with Highest Honor in Journalism and moved to New York City to pursue his 30-year career as an Advertising Executive. In the late 1970’s he retired to the beaches where he enjoyed long walks on the beach, extensive European travel, crossword puzzles and reading.
Ed was predeceased by both parents and sisters, Jane Jackson Wheeler and Eleanor Jackson DeLoach. He is survived by his brother, Thomas Audley Jackson of Alachua, Florida; brother-in-law, Jack Wheeler of Atlantic Beach, Florida and many nieces and nephews. Special thanks to Cora Barber and Mary Lahiff, for their devoted care.
Per Ed’s wishes, no local services will be held.
