Tommy enjoyed, on his days away from training, visiting the local dump site and firing a 22 calibre rifle at rats. He also remarked how much he enjoyed getting punched, many of which he received. A friendly fellow, he made people he met feel good about having met him. Cause of his death remains a mystery.

[edit] Death, age 50

No mystery... In his youth he drove like maniac, even killed a person, somebody check on court records, but he did not get any penalty, except his license was suspended.(he had few more years left, that was a mistake) In January 1982, while he was driving his gypsy taxi, he was hit by another car, he was hospitalized and released, only to go back to hospital again a week later. He was 50.5. I do not know why on boxrec (but nothing surprises me there) they have his age all messed up. Tommy was not a crazy man, but he was weird. Copyright New York Times Company Feb 15, 1982 Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson, the Rockaway Beach heavyweight who lost a bid for the world championship in 1957, died yesterday morning at Mary Immaculate Hospital in Queens. He was 50 years old.... rest you can find out by yourself.
