I have a cute story relating to 'little' Jackie...

In 1981, my brother died...on the day of the funeral, the limo came to my parents house, to pick the family up, and take us to the funeral home...my mom was watching out the window for the limo and when it pulled up,the driver got out of the car and my mom said, "Yikes, little Jackie is driving the limo...we thought mom, in her grief flipped out..we all ran to the window, and sure enough, from the 2nd story window, the limo driver looked like little Jackie...

When we got downstairs, and saw him up close, he looked even more like little Jackie...it was a moment of laughter among us, in spite of our grief...to this day, 25yrs later, everyone still remembers that little Jackie drove the limo for my brothers funeral...

Great story! I can't look at Jackie Wright without smiling, and the smile usually gets bigger fairly quickly.

We do miss Benny, though. I was in law school when he passed away (Spring 1992?) and I remember learning the news and being royally bummed that whole week over it.
