I started working with Jacky in 1976 at Intelligent Systems when we were both seniors in high school. We were part of the original basement group (the company was started in owner’s basement) and we worked together for 25 years and saw the company grow and become part of Rockwell Automation, Thank you, Jacky, for the friendship we shared over the years. So long, my friend, until we meet again.
“Jacky Gunter” will remain in our hearts forever.
Jacky Lee Gunter was my first cousin. Our moms were sisters. And even though we were raised 300 miles apart, Mary, Jacky and I were best pals. My father died on Christmas Eve, 1971. Jacky and his family came to be with my mom and me. Jacky told me he was sorry about a Uncle Jack, my dad, and offered me his present. As the years pass that memory becomes more and more precious. Jacky, I love you and I miss you.
