Here is a link for those who would like more information. I never met him, but from what I've read Mr. Jackson was quite a fighter, even making a comeback after being out of competition for two years (had surgery & physical therapy for a severe injury). He fought to the very end.

This was a shocker; I expected him to outlive me by a long shot. I had the pleasure of working at a nightclub in Newport Beach that was owned by Mr. Norris and his then-wife. Whenever Mr. Norris came in to visit, Howard was always along as his "bodyguard" (we always got a kick out of that). I got on the mat with him on only two occasions, and remain impressed to this day by his athleticism and sheer physical strength.

He was always kind, and despite some interesting personal challenges, never let the dark side get him down.

Sleep sweelty, Mr. Jackson. and may flights of angels...
