Jack was my friend, hunting buddy, Brit lover, dad and an honorable man who overcame many obstacles along life's path. Let me not forget his being a fine physician.

My Dad was a gentle soul. He had a warm heart, always caring in his interactions with people. He had a clear understanding of the world, rights and wrongs. Being a good person meant the most to him. He was that and achieved many accomplishments. He loved life and had a clear understanding to always soldier doing your best in what is right. He was the guy who always put a $20 on the garbage container to say a quiet meaningful thanks. So many great things to say about him. Even in retirement he couldn't stay still and when he did something he did it with care and what is right, always. He established a thriving kennel of amazing Brittanies he didn't sell but placed with much care and consideration. He had one of his dog win and showed in the big Dog Show, AKC, Westminster. But most of all he was an Amazing Dad and I am so grateful I had an Amazing bond with him. I am so blessed but sad. I am so thankful to have him in my life. He will always be with me, death can't take that away. He will be Forever Missed.
