Dr. John "Jack" Bigelow

Hey folks, Just wanted to pass along a great tribute to your dad. I volunteer at a low-income rehab home on NE 122nd in Portland with my therapy dog, Rex. Today I visited with a mid-50s resident named Robert Wagner. Robert recounted the story of how your dad once saved him from bullies. Thereafter, your dad sort of mentored Robert-teaching him to swim, teaching him to fish, and so much more. He evidently stayed in touch with your dad for many years. Robert recounted your dad´s awesome love...

I am sorry for your loss. May prayer comfort you.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray constantly."

For the friends and family of Mr Bigelow, I am so very sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort hear your heartbroken prayers and support you during these difficult times.

We are saddened by Jack's passing, but have fond memories of our families living in neighboring homes on "pill hill" in the 1960s.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I have the upmost respect and admiration for your father and his skills as a surgeon. He performed open-heart surgery on me at Good Sam in 1971. I would not be here today if it weren't for him and his team. I'm thankful each day I wake up because of him. I offer love and support for all of you.

Wonderful man and a pleasure to work with at Good Samaritan hospital in Portland . Sorry for your loss . He knew how to balance his high pressure work and his family. Dr. Gerald green , former professional colleague

John, Brad and Chris and families, my sincere heartfelt sympathy. What a dad, grandpa, husband, uncle and cousin- a friend to all. So blessed I, we, are to have known such a warm caring person. Truly an example for all of us to strive for. His love of life, wife, family and friends... If only we all could be like him. Truly a loss for you all and us. I will treasure all our times together, from reunions, small gathering visits. A gentle soul, with a warm heart. Just loved this man! Missing...

John, Peggy and family:
My mom shared this memoriam of your dad, John. I am sending lots of hugs and love your way. He must have been a very caring and intelligent man. What an amazing life he lived. Full of motivation and thoughtfulness. A life so big it is hard to fathom. He raised a wonderful son in John---I will never forget the support both Peggy and John gave my family during our dad's memorial. You both are such authentic friends. I am so sorry for your loss, and wish i had...

John,Brad,Chris & Family: So sorry to hear of the loss of your Father. Jack as well as Louise were great friends to have and we will continue to miss them both. Our thoughts are with you all.
