I have such nice memories of Jackie Cooney. He lived on our street, Wood Avenue years. Sometimes when I needed a ride to work at West Point he would give me and my Mom a ride. He was a lovely man with such a generous spirit and a really nice smile.This is the way I will always remember Jackie. God Bless you Jackie.
