Jimmy Jackson was a large land owner in Westmoreland Parish - ranches, hotels, homes... Quite a beloved and respected man in the community here. I never met the man but I did go to his wake last night in Orange Hill. What a party, hundreds and I mean 300, 400 maybe even 500? people tons of food, cases of white rum and red stripe...wowza. I'm sure his funeral was quite ceremonious as well. The family has a lot of money and notoriety here. The funeral was web cast.
And yes, married to Gail Jackson who I've only met a couple of times and seems like a lovely woman.
