Harry Jackson

Today, on what would have been his 92nd birthday, we remember and celebrate the life of Harry Jackson — a remarkable man, devoted husband, loving father, and gifted engineer.

Harry shared an extraordinary 62-year marriage with his beloved wife, Barbara, a partnership built on love, dedication, and quiet strength. Together they raised three sons — Jeffrey, Marshall, and Kenny — who carry forward his values, work ethic, and steady presence.

A consummate engineer, Harry’s talents seemed limitless. He contributed his skills to the Apollo space projects, playing a role in one of humanity’s greatest achievements. Whether working on something as monumental as space exploration or tinkering in his own workshop, he always had a project underway. He had a rare ability to understand how things worked — and the skill to fix or build just about anything.

Outside of his professional life, Harry had a passion for racing cars, embracing both the thrill and precision it required. It was just one more reflection of his curious mind and steady hand.

Though quiet by nature, Harry was a man of deep strength and reliability. He didn’t need many words, his actions spoke volumes. He was always there when his family needed him, offering support, wisdom, and unwavering love.

Today, we honor a great dad, a great man, and a life well lived. His legacy endures in the family he cherished, the work he contributed, and the countless things he built, both with his hands and with his heart.

We love you dad.
