Sam Jackson, born January 27, 1921, started Jackson Refrigeration after returning home from World War II. Jackson served as Chief Petty Officer on the USS Converse from 1942-1945. Jackson Refrigeration took on several roles as the times changed; including, but not limited to household appliances, commercial refrigeration, HVAC sales, service and electrical work.
Phil, Lee, and Mike, all three sons of Sam, began working for their father from an early age. The business grew from a three person operation, selling and servicing appliances, to a 14 person operation, installing and servicing HVAC and electrical work.
After years of dedication to company values and customer satisfaction, Phil and Lee retired in 2005. Today, Mike and his son, Chris, continue the business that Sam began as A1 Four Seasons Heating and Cooling.
The USS Converse (DD-509) was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for George A. Converse (1844–1909).
