Jack W Jackson "Jackie" as known to his family and friends, was an exceptionally bright and humorous man. He was an accomplished professional rodeo rider and a member of the RCA (Rodeo Cowboys Association). He also was a journeyman printer and was an artisan at his job as a typesetter at the Dallas Times Herald. He never knew a stranger and people always enjoyed being around him. He loved his parents tremendously and is buried with them. I am proud that I called him my friend.
Jackie Wayne, another friend, and I were dining at a restaurant in East Dallas one evening back in 1967. There was a young mother at the next table with her 5-year-old son. The young boy stabbed a piece of his meat with his fork and was waving it around in the air. His mother told him, "Johnny, don't you dare throw that piece of meat!" Jackie Wayne looked at the little boy and said, "Throw it Johnny! Throw it!" Johnny slung that piece of meat off of his fork and it flew in a straight line, hitting another customer in the back of the head. Jackie Wayne just laughed and laughed, as did we. The mother didn't think it very funny, though, and stared a hole right in the middle of Jackie Wayne. There are many other stories I could tell about this fun-loving man. I miss him.
