JACKIE "BOOMER" WAS LARGER THAN LIFE; HE HAD A ROBUST, CONTAGIOUS LAUGH AND A PERSONALITY TO MATCH. HE HAD AN INFECTIOUS SMILE AND DRIVE. HE GAVE YOU RABBIT EARS IN PICTURES. HE WORKED HARD AND LOVED HARDER. HE LOVED HIS WIFE, KIDS, MOTHER, FAMILY AND ESPECIALLY LOVED HIS CATS DEARLY. AS A MECHANIC IF YOUR CAR BATTERY NEEDED A CHARGE, HE WOULD BE THERE AND IF YOU WERE FEELING LOW HE WOULD SAY OR DO SOMETHING TO MAKE YOU MAD OR LAUGH, IN THAT HE WOULD CHARGE YOUR BATTERY.
JACKIE "BOOMER" DID EVERYTHING IN LIFE EXTREME ‚ WHETHER IT WAS PLAYING, WORKING, DRIVING, TEASING OR RESTING. THE DEMONS THAT PLAGUED HIM THROUGH OUT HIS LIFE WERE EXTREME AS WELL. HE SUFFERED FROM PAIN, DRUG ADDICTION, AND GUILT. THE GUILT JACKIE "BOOMER" CARRIED MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO FORGIVE HIMSELF.
