Don't think this is him. The California guy seems more likely.
Jacko joined the Club back in the 60's as a Junior and first played Senior cricket for us at this time. With various stints around the country, Jacko rejoined the Club as Captain/Coach of our B Grade side in 1990/91. He led the Club to the narrowest of Grand Final losses, but this earmarked the Club's competitive climb in the CMCA.
Following another work stint interstate in 1991/92, Jacko was back again, this time guiding many of our developing cricketers in the lower Grades. With skill and nous Jacko easily accounted for the batting averages (G Grade 93/94 and J Grade 94/95) and memorably achieved the Club's first double century (202 not out). Jacko continued playing with us while he could and was great at popping in and providing a quiet word.
Jacko served on Committee from 1996/97 to 2000/01 and won an Outstanding Services Award in 2000/01.
Our thoughts are with Sandra, Patrick, Shelly, Cody at this difficult time.
The funeral service will be held this Tuesday 8th June 2010, at W D Rose Chapel, Charman Road, Cheltenham, commencing at 10am.
VALE
