  Jack was much loved, especially by his patients. After he retired, a patient of his wrote: 'You've made such an incredible difference in the quality of my life, tending to both my medical and emotional concerns, caring for my life as well as my illness.' He always had a friendly smile and encouraging words for his family, colleagues, trainees and patients. He was a wonderful husband to Natalie for 50 years, father and grandfather and even during his illness was concerned only for the well being of his family. Jack loved life and will be missed by all whom he touched.
