We are all there with you in our hearts.

[STEVERINO]

Just to let you know you are never far from all our good thoughts Jackie` we are so used to you lifting our spirits in trying times I wish we could all do the same for you .SP.

Don't know what to say except stay strong and remember we all wish you the best even in the worst of times.

Fellers, the best way we can keep Jackies spirits up is to keep this thread on the plane, can any of you boys post any snaps of him or with perhaps with him in it..... Even some good recollections would I,m sure pep him up some.....

I'm too much of a "thick 'un" to be able to post anything myself picturewise, but I am sure others with more savvy will chip in...Phill

Had a spot of bother this last month, done three ambulance rides in three weeks and each time it felt like a very fat man sat on my face for a very long time. "At the third stroke" there must be one of those talking clocks in the US of A.
It left me a tad pissed off as well as having a sloppy side to my nature.
Jilly demanded I stop messing about--------but in actual fact I wasnt.
This time they demanded I stay off the streets until they find out what can be causing above average funn face.
they seem to think I'm curable--------anyway they decided to turn me loose early next week if I don't enter any more "KNURDLING" competitions.
Three times in three weeks was cause for concern.
Upshot of all this -------I have been inside more machines than Darth Vader and Harrison Ford, Spock, kirk and Uhuru combined.
Was not feeling quite up to par as a result off all these shenanigans ------you just have to bear with me a while longer

I think I once said your were a "crotchety old bastard" for which I apologize. Though we disagree on rotaries, we ended up friends; to the extent I tell my wife about my concerns for your well being; and she has no earthly idea who you are. Get well my friend, as I'm sure we need many more discussions about rotaries.

Get yourself well Jackie. I know everyone is pulling for you. It was great to see the pics your friends posted. God bless you and yours.

I absolutely cherish the fact that I was privileged to formally introduce Jackie Wilson and John Sheldon (Rotary John) seconds before taking this photo. Despite their differences on the OMC rotary, which John was deeply involved in its development, they almost instantly became fast friends. - Steve Sirois

....get well soon Jackie. Those Docs will get it figured out I am sure.

Let me tell you from first hand experience ------Hospitals are places for going to and coming from------and not through choice, you don't want to be "Passing through" on your way. I'm giving 'em a very wide berth from here on in. Another thing, they're far too busy to cater for old farts like me!!!
Finally, I like my nurses to be "HUMANOIDS"--------by the law of averages, there has to be one half tidy looking blonde somewhere in West Sussex. If there was, she was playing hide and seek with Dr. Kildare 'cos she never informed me of her present whereabouts. But I tell you one thing with absolute certainty, there's some absolutely pug--ugly women posing as nurses, honest to MURGATROYD ------you would not even invite them into bed , before, during or after the event, and I never thought I was that picky. After this last fiasco, I think ill join the queue at the pearly gates and take my chances---------no way could you be that unlucky THREE times. Anyway, that's all behind me now, done my bit of penance, supped the cold coffee, munched on a hard fried egg, with a slice of curled up toast and fourteen pills. ( Life is like a box of chocolates, don't know what you got 'till some bugger ups and steals it).
Workshop is out of bounds, at least until the new year, driving licence revoked for a tad longer, got feeling back in my fingers so i can pound out the digits and annoy the hell out of you all.
