Cousin Frank was considerably kind and quietly composed and confident. Each time I spoke with him, he was quite attentive, which left a lasting impression, because he made me feel that he was interested in what I had to say, and that, what I was saying was significant. When he spoke, I could sense the thoughtfulness and importance in his response. That spoke volumes to me about the quality of his character; no wonder Cousin Delois said,"Yes!" Also, I will always cherish the memories of his and Delois' visits to our home. Our fellowship was filled with so much joy and lots of laughs. I remember and envision Frank's infectious smile and genuine laughter, especially on my fiftieth birthday and Lauren's graduation celebration. I am glad that I was blessed to have made his acquaintance and delighted to have had him as family.
Love,

I always looked forward to conversations with Uncle Frank. Not only were they interesting and sometime humorous, but there were always lessons to be learned. As we conversed, I came to appreciate the depth of his knowledge. But the greatest lesson learned was from what he didn't say. He knew and I knew he knew but he never bragged about what and how much he knew. What a lesson in humility! I will be forever indebted to this humble giant...
Love you always, Sherry Tuberville (Katrina)
My memories of Frank Henry Jackson
I’ve been close to Cousin Frank for over 50 years. He lived with our family for a couple of years during the mid-1960’s. Frank was more like an Uncle to me early on. Frank was a voracious reader, one of his many positive traits I sub-conscientiously adopted. Another trait of his was organization and the ability to work hard. I saw him work a full-time postal job by day and attend full-time college classes by night. That effort led to a high level administrator position with the Cleveland Public School System. Little did Frank know that his success taught me that hard work and persistence pays off.
I use to always wash his car and when I turned 16, Frank gave me the car, a red Buick convertible. Of course, I then had to wash his new car without getting paid; he taught me there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Still, I will never forget that selfless deed. Throughout my life, his input and advice has helped me make many important decisions. He was definitely my go to person. Frank was not only my beloved cousin… he was my hero. May he rest in peace!

Dear Frank,
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” -St. Augustine
We are so blessed we got to finish many books with you. Whether it was exploring Jamaica, Dominican Republic or Mexico, we enjoyed every chapter. Sometimes that chapter was in our kitchen or yours, just spending time together eating, playing cards or just talking. There will never be another vacation or kitchen gathering where we won’t think of you and miss you.
Love,
Derek, Cheryl, Chase
