While I was never able to meet Mr. Jackson, I know that he was a man who inspired his grandson Brandon. From the time that I met Brandon, he always spoke from the heart about how much love he had for his grandparents, how kind they were, and I could see that he was truly blessed to have this man as well as his other grandparents in his life.  I regret not being able to meet him. The picture of him reminds me so much of my own grandfather. Rest in peace and I know that one day I will get to meet you.
