Jack, Joan and Linda were instrumental in helping me get Obedience titles on my Wheatens -- in fact, Jack coined the phrase "Soft-Headed Wheaten Retriever" when I was trying to teach Bailey to retrieve the dumbbell. Jack helped me learn how to connect with my dogs and was always instructive and supportive. The obedience world will miss Jack, and so will I. My thoughts are with Linda, Jenny and Kelly, and of course, Jester. So many terrific dogs are happy to welcome Jack to the Rainbow...

My sympathies and condolences to Jack's
family. He was a lovely man, devoted to family, friends and his dog(s).
I remember Jack most fondly for his judging my little labrador at the obedience trials in Powassan a number of years ago. It was his last judging
assignment. Such a loss to the dog world.

I remember giving Jack his first perfect score many years ago. He was a good friend.

I wish I had known Jack better because of what little I saw, he had my most respect and admiration. He and Joan always had sound advice and kind words to help me with my struggling handling skills in the obedience ring. I will keep the family in my prayers.

My condolences to Jack's family.

I will always remember my good friend and golf buddy who was a big part of my life. Your great sense of humor, that nice way about you and your passion for the game of golf was truly our connection.
Always good times when we were together.

I will miss you dear friend.

She was delighted in the ring to see someone so very similar,so she briskly took her dumbbell and sat squarely in front of him, offering up her prize. I think it was the hair...somewhat receding and white!! Then there was the time when we did a...
