Sincere condolences to the entire Jackson family on the loss of your dear husband,  dad, grandfather.  He had an impact on my years growing up in Sydney as I saw him often,  as my childhood doctor, at my church, with my parents in Chorale, and his office was next door to my Dad’s.  He leaves a legacy of dedication to the Cape Breton community.  May he Rest In Peace.

My sincere condolences to Patricia (and the family) for the loss of Peter.  The two of them were a real team, and have contributed so much to our community.  May friends and family be a real support to you in your grief at his loss, Patricia!

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Jackson’s passing. He was such a kind, compassionate person. My deepest sympathies to his family. 

Dear Nigel and family

Thinking of you all at this momentous time. Having lost my own father in recent history, as you know, a friend offered me loving advice which I now share with you. 

Don't be too quick to bid farewell to the tender-hearted sadness that you may feel right now. It has its place, and with it you may feel Peter with you more deeply as you look in nature...at the water, in the trees, from a bird's song. 

Sending you love and my sincere condolences.

To the Jackson family
I was shocked and saddened to learn of Dr. Jackson’s passing. Peter was the consummate gentleman who respected all he came in contact with . His quiet gentle nature and caring endeared him to all. Visiting him as a pharmaceutical representative, we shared many stories of sports, music, choral singing and mutual friends in Nova Scotia. He loved life and people to the maximum. He was a good friend.
May God’ s comfort be with you all as you cherish the memories in the days ahead.

Sincere Condolences go out to you Patricia and all your lovely family and extended family. Dr. Peter was my family doctor from the early 70’s right up until his retirement. Many an appointment you made for me Patricia! To say Dr. Jackson was a fine man is, in my opinion, such an understatement. He was a great man, Doctor and Professional. I owe my life and my daughter owes hers to his exemplary care of us and we have never forgotten him. The Lord has the best place held for him in Heaven! May he Rest In Peace. God Bless you all!

Sending my deepest condolences to Mrs. Jackson, Simon, Nicki, Clive, Nigel, and grandchildren. Dr. Jackson was such a kind soul.  always willing to help out when anyone in the neighbourhood needed him.  Rest easy Dr. Jackson. 

Dear Mrs Jackson and family , I am so sorry for your loss  . Dr Jackson was a wonderful Doctor and Man.  Memories  flood  back   such as  Peter coming through my back door to make a house call for my Grandmother.  Then  the next to the night my father died ...
Dr Jackson  came to the house again.  I think my last memory was how caring he was for my Mom when she had terminal  cancer. You knew how much he cared for his patients ...we  felt like extended family .
  Peter Jackson was a big part of my family and of my life.  He will be missed but his memory will on . There isn't a day that a Dr Jackson story isn't told. 
 Again my thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Nancy Hubley King.

 

Heaven is getting a very good doctor!

Trish, Simon, Nikki, Clive and Nigel:
The Jackson’s arrived Philip Street, Sydney River in the 60’s with Peter, Trish and Simon.  We didn’t know it then so much but what good fortune for “the River” as the caring contribution to the entire community went on and on and on!  Know then that our love and respect for you, Trish and  the Jackson family will go on and on and on…

Sincere condolences,
Elaine (Rose) Cotter


Dear Pat. I am so sad that Peter has died. You may hardly remember me and my wife Gill because it was so long ago (Sydney 1969) when we met. You and Peter were established in Sydney, Gill and I had just arrived and working in a practice that was not at all what we had expected. You both helped us that year to survive and, in the end, prosper.
We will always be grateful.
It would be lovely to see you again, perhaps on one of your trips to Halifax.
Much love and sympathy, Kit and Gill Childs, Bedford, N.S.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Jackson, however a flood of beautiful memories of him being so nice to my mom during her time as his patient. He was a very caring man and doctor.
To the family, you have lost the physical presence of a husband, dad and granddad, all important roles and we offer our sincere condolences for that tremendous loss. We offer our prayers and thoughts during this difficult time.

Dear Patrica and Family,

My thoughts and my heart are with you, Patricia and your family, It is with great sadness that I learned of Peter's demise, and all my family is certainly very sad. Many memories were brought up regarding the humanity, the dedication, the humour also, of Peter. Those were the good times. Please accept our thoughts for you and your family .
We wish you all the strength  in these dark moments. Much love to you, Patricia

I was sorry to hear that Peter died. I knew him for over forty years and always enjoyed meeting in the various medical organizations where we interacted. Peter was always very involved and dedicated to his patients, to the profession he served in so many roles, and the community. He was one of the wise, clear-thinking  physicians, always a positive force and a pleasure to work with. He had a great smile and cheerful personality. My condolences to Patricia , and to Simon and other family. 

We were both deeply saddened to read of the recent passing of Doctor Peter Jackson.  We were both honored to have Dr. Jackson as  our family doctor for many years.  He was truly a huge asset to his profession, alway finding time to talk to us, whether you saw him at the hospital, out and about or at his practice, early or late in the day.  To his wife, Patricia, his other immediate family members, his close friends, members of the medical profession who either knew him or had the privilege of working with him and to Cathy and Irene, his recent office staff, we extend our deepest sympathies at this most difficult time.  RIP Doc.

Patricia and family 

Our Deepest Sympathy on the passing of Dr. Peter. He was a great doctor and were privileged to be one of his first of patients when he first arrived here. We had him up until his retirement and he always provided excellent care to our entire family. He always there in your time of need. We considered him more than just a family doctor.  He went on to deliver my children and we actually named one of the boys after him.  We thought the world of him and knew when you were in his care, you were well looked after. 
My heart goes out to each of you. 
Sincerely Isabel MacPherson and Family 

A gentleman physician of the highest order, with the humility to treat all patients as equals.  He lives in those lives he was blessed to touch. An inspiration to those who follow, he will be missed by his family, his colleagues, and his patients 

Patricia and Family.. Thinking of you as you lay your dear Peter to rest..Lean on one another for support,and cherish the many wonderful memories you have..

My earliest memory of Dr. J was when I was 8 and he did a house call and quickly diagnosed me with appendicitis then assisted in the surgery.  Having he and Patricia and family living in Sydney river all those years ago was awesome.   Moving ahead to my working life he was always supportive and such a gentleman.  Patricia and he were drivers for palliative care and a hoot at the annual golf tournaments.  Wanda and I offer our sincere condolences to the whole family. 
Ed & Wanda Fedora

As a member of the Cape Breton Chorale, I always considered Peter  part of the choral family.  All of us veterans in the group who knew him are saddened by his passing. To Patricia and the Jackson family, I extend my sincere condolences. May Peter continue vocalizing in the next world.

To The family of Dr. Jackson, 
My sincere condolences on the passing of this lovely man. I am a retired Physiotherapist who had the privilege to know and work with Dr. Jackson at St. Rita Hospital and the CBRH. He was always cheerful, excellent to his patients and kind and respectful to all staff and visitors at the hospital. In fact, the only complaint I have ever heard about Dr. Jackson was that he had terrible handwriting and we could hardly read his orders!!LOL! He was well aware of that and always tried to do his best to help us read what he had written! May Dr. Jackson rest in the peace of Our Lord.
Prayers at this difficult time,  God Bless, Julia Townsend, Sydney, NS

Dear Tricia & family, I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your husband, father, and grandfather. He was our family doctor who delivered both of our children, and cared for our family for many years until his retirement.   I also  had the utmost pleasure of working with Dr. Jackson in  Obstetrics for many years   He was a wonderful, caring, well respected  physician and person who gave so much of himself to our community and will be deeply missed.   Cherish all your wonderful memories of this great man.

So sad to hear of Peter's passing.
I will always be grateful for having my family doctor and family friend so close by.
Even after we moved to Halifax and had our own children he still took care of us! I fondly recall an episode in Boisdale where Mark was around 5 years old and got an ear infection and Peter was coming up from a swim and checked on him. The boys still remember him as "the bathing suit doctor" !
Thank you Peter for all the times you took us out water skiing behind your Zodiac. You were so generous to us. 
We will miss you.

Keith, Kim Mark and Grant Hooper


Our sincere condolences to  Tricia, Simon, Nicki, Clive, Nigel, and grandchildren. Dr. Jackson was a lovely gentleman.  He made many house calls in the neighbourhood well into his senior years. Our family certainly owed him a debt of gratitude for his healthcare visits to our home.  He had a sweet and mischievous smile as well as a beautiful singing voice in choir. He will be missed by many. 💔

I was very sad to hear of Dr Jackson's passing . A wonderful neighborhood dad and family doctor . My sincere condolences to all the family  during this difficult time
