In Loving Memory of
Reginald Philip Jacko
October 5, 1959 – May 4, 2019
Passed away peacefully at home in Rabbit Island at 59 years of age.
He will be missed greatly by his sisters: Dolory, of Wikwemikong; Doreen Jackson (Mark) of Marseilles, IL; Valerie, Phyllis (Wally), and Evelyn, all of Toronto; niece Julie Gamrat, and great-niece Andie, whom he adored very much.
Forever cherished by his many nieces and nephews.
He is reunited with his parents, Jacob and Bessie (Gaiashk) Jacko; brothers: Jerome Gaiashk, Alec Gaiashk, and Cornelius Jacko; and sister Dorothy ‘Cookie’ Pitawanakwat.
In his younger years, Philip worked at the Playboy Club in Chicago, and as a tree planter in Northern Ontario. He loved playing cards with family, watching old Classic movies, music, and exploring the outdoors. He was a history buff and had an active political mind.
Special thanks go out to his palliative care nurses, Monica and Susan, who provided excellent care; and to caring friend and supporter Maurice Fox.
