 When Baker baseball team had a home game, Jackie would load as many people as he could get into that green convertible of his and give us all a ride to the field which was a mile or so from school. Jackie was a good guy and evidently, a great husband, father and grandfather. I'm sure they have many good memories of life with Jackie.  My heartfelt condolences to Beverly and his family.
