Jackman, Richard Passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 18 from brain cancer at the age of 81. He is survived by his wife of 56 years Betty Jo Jackman who sadly has Alzheimers. He missed her greatly the last four years. He is also survived by his sister Nancy Henrick; children Janey Jackman, Tom Jackman, and Amy Jackman Green; son-in-law Barak Green; and beloved granddaughters Sara and Melanie Green. He devoted his life to his family, his business Jackman’s Fabrics, and his farm. A private man he loved his time on his tractor, and was an avid reader and sports fan. He was an inspiration to all who met him for his intelligence, strength, humor, and courage which he carried to the end. Thank you to Mari de Ville where he spent his last 18 days, and especially Mary for her compassion which he greatly appreciated. Dad will always be missed and in the hearts and memories of his family, friends, and business associates. Memorials may be made to Missouri Department of Conservation P.O.
