Thomas Wm. Jackson was the 6th child of Robert & Joanna Jackson. Tom had a twin sister Marie E. Jackson-Horrocks. His siblings were Robert George (1906) Edward (1908-1912), Charlotte E (1909), George Samuel (1911), Edwin (1914-1918), Tom & Marie (1917), Beatrice L (1925-1927).
Tom married Erma A. Minnick on May 25th, 1938 and they had 5 sons, Thomas Wayne (9/21/1940), Richard Lester (9/21/1942), Barry Allen (4/19/1947), Robert Roy (9/9/1951) & Glen David (9/20/1952). Grandchildren were Tom, Terry, Michelle, David, Keith, Kimberly, Tracy and Troy. There were also 19 great grandchildren.
My father was a workaholic and never paid anyone to do something he felt he could do himself. He was a wonderful role model and I only wish I could be more like him. He worked as a production foreman for Philco (tv and radio manufacturer)who was later purchased by Ford. His working career spanned from the mid 1930's up until his retirment in 1976.
My father was a Mason and a member of the Norhteast Shrine Club which he became President of in 1986. He remained active in the Shrine until he became ill in 2000.
