Reflections On A Life
You are special
"Special" is a word that is used to describe something one-of-a-kind. Like a hug or a sunset or a person who spreads love with a smile or kind gesture. "special describes people who act from the heart and keep in mind the hearts of others.
"Special" applies to something that is admired and precious and which can never be replaced. "Special" is the word that best describes you.
"You are Special"

Johnson Jackson and grandfather of six grandchildren, brother of two sisters, Denise Cornelia Jackson Hall and Jocelyn Darnell Jackson Thomas of Schenectady, one brother Lee Jackson III of Worcester Mass. and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.

He worked in facilities management, as a chef and construction. He spent the most time in facilities management most recently with Schenectady County Community College. Prior to his most recent employment at SCCC, he worked for Rotterdam Square Mall for 20+ years.

He loved music and also wrote music. He was also an excellent cook. He was a great impersonator. He enjoyed teasing his mom, such as "hello Darling how are you today", if he didn't want to take instructions he would sing in a high pitch voice "Toot, Ta Lu" and laugh.

I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you. Jeremiah 31:3
