CONGRESSWOMAN PLASKETT EXPRESSES CONDOLENCES ON PASSING OF FORMER US POSTAL SERVICE POSTMASTER IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS, LOUIS JACKSON
U.S. Virgin Islands – Congresswoman Stacey E. Plaskett today expressed her condolences to the family, friends, and former colleagues of Louis A. Jackson, the former Virgin Islands Postmaster, who passed away recently.
“Louis Jackson embodied what public service looks like at its best — steady and rooted in community,” said Congresswoman Plaskett. Under his leadership, the post offices where he served were hubs of connection, information, and care, which reflected the man at its helm. His door would often swing open and he would talk and listen to the community.
“Mr. Jackson’s service earned national recognition. He was a three-time recipient of the Benjamin Franklin Award — the highest public relations honor conferred by the U.S. Postal Service — receiving the award for the third consecutive year in 2005, one of only 28 postal leaders nationwide so honored that year. Under his leadership, the Frederiksted Post Office placed first in the Caribbean District in the National Play the Zone competition, a testament to the standard of excellence he set throughout his career.
“My prayers go out to his family and loved ones. May he rest in eternal peace.”
