Friday BOAT Golf Tournament will be played in honor of Jackson Plumlee.

Jackson was the son of Scott and Tina Plumlee.
Born in 1998 Jackson passed away in 2006 at age 6
Back then Scott Tras a rep. for Simpson Strong Tie.
Our Building Offelials Association of Texas - BOAT golf tournament is named after Jackson Plumlee.
We remember Jackson today and play in his honor.

From www.jacksonssong.org
Jackson Allen Plumlee. Full of smiles and laughter.
No, more than that. Jackson was overflowing with both. Planting flowers with Momma, then squirting her with the hose. Fishing and playing catch with Daddy and wrestling on the floor. Ears quick to hear the ice cream truck during baseball practice.
Games of counting slug bugs, reading books and talking about seeing a cuckoo bird in Australia.

Jackson also had a heart for God. Sitting in a swing or taking a walk with Grandma or Grandpa, he would often say, "Let's talk about God!" That's one way his "new song" began. Jackson's Song reflects his actual conversations with Grandma Kathi and Grandpa Rick.

Enjoy the day just as Jackson would have!
