I second this, and also would like to add that, like many others on this
list, I always read Dean's messages, even if I was not following the thread
at the time. His name always made me feel respectful and inspired, for his
dedication was truly amazing. He has changed so many lives for the better,
and I know that I will always remember him fondly.

Hello List,
One more thing I might add is that, although I have never actually talked
to Dean on the phone, his many messages on this list and helpful advice
have reflected what a hardworking and dedicated person he was. I remember
once he replied to one of my e-mail messages saying that he would always
be happy to help with anything and I remember thinking at the time of what
a dedicated person he was. I, too, am encouraged by his Christian faith
and believe that he is in a much better place. Still, this is a sad time
for all of us. Dean, I regret that I was never able to talk to you on the
phone but would like to thank you immensely for your patience, humor and
excellent advice.

Hello all,
It is truly difficult to find the words to adequately convey one's
feelings at a time such as this. I only knew Dean from messages he posted
on this list. He was truly a man who went the extra mile! He was truly
one in a million! He certainly accomplished much for being so young! I
thought he was much older than he was. My condolences to his family
during this time of his passing!
As I age, I'm beginning to find myself celebrating the lives of those who
have passed on which include my parents as well as other friends and
acquaintances. Quite often I may encounter something wonderful in my
experience and I often ask myself what might my parents or friends think
if they could be sharing my experience with me? More often than not, the
memory of those who have passed on has comforted me in any number of ways!
Quite often my remembering them and what they said gives me a lift and
needed attitude adjustment sometimes. Truly Dean Jackson is an example we
all should try to emulate as best we can in our own way! Dean will be
missed and will be hard to replace but all of us here are so much better
off after being touched in some way by him! Dean lives on through those
of us he touched! May his memory live on through us all who he helped and
inspired!
Jim Aldrich
