We sure are going to miss you Jack. Thanks for the best friend you gave me, and all the memories from being a kid at your place. I will keep an eye on LRW and GRW for you. We will always remember the good times and keep you close to our hearts. You have made a huge, positive impression on so many and your gift of horse sense will carry on though your kids.
Though my tears, and huge knot in my throat~ I love you, Cher

Dr. Woolsey was a pleasure to know and we worked well together at Vine Hill Ranch and at Empire Equine Hospital. He wasn't just a horse vet, he was a special person in my life that I admired him as a human being. I will miss him because he was one of the greatest horsemen I have ever known.
