Signs, signs, everywhere signs.... Tribute to Jacko with Yellowman at Roots Bamboo

It is with a rather heavy heart I make this post, a great friend of mine, Jacko, passed on this past week. He went in his sleep on Tuesday night at his room at Roots - and he will be sorely missed. Most of you who have been to Negril anytime in the past 15 years have seen his signs advertising the shows at Roots Bamboo and other venues - he was the "sign man" in town!

The links below are just a few samples of his work that he did for the Boardie patrons at Roots Bamboo:

I heard of the passing of an employee at Roots when I was there but didn't know if it was security or whom. So sorry you lost your friend Rob. He was very talented.

That's too bad. Condolences to family and friends.

Sad news indeed...Jacko rocked!
Sorry about your friend, Rob...condolences to his family & friends!

I'm sorry to hear this Rob. My heart goes out to you and all of Jacko's friends and family.
I appreciate all of the signs I see in Negril, wouldn't be the same without them.

Jocko was a good friend, it's hard to believe I just had a good talk with him 6 weeks ago, RIP my friend
