RIP, GARY JACKSON

We are very sad to bid farewell to Gary Jackson, a beloved member of the HITS team for many years and a simply lovely man, who has died after a long illness. Gary had been suffering from Frontotemporal Degeneration and ALS and entered hospice care last year.

Those of us who were fortunate enough to work with Gary will never forget his sweet, gentle nature, his booming laugh, his fervent love of music and his abiding devotion to his wife, Judith, to whom we send our deepest sympathies. Below are some images from our archive that made us remember a really good guy. We'll miss you, Gary.
