Sorry to have missed Jack's memorial service. Those of us physicians that worked on the Hopi and Navaho reservation and at the Grand Canyon Hospital in the 60's and 70's certainly appreciated his and his partner's help. We could count on them even when snow prevented their flying in, they'd drive through the drifts to help.

He did a great service!

My deepest sympathies to family and friends. Jack will be missed. I remember my younger days of visiting Jack and Jo Ann in Flagstaff, loved spending time at their home with the cousins.

My condolences to Dr Vosskuhler's family. It was a pleasure to work w/Dr V at Flagstaff Hospital back in the 1980's. I was working on my BS in Rad Tech @ NAU and then worked for 5 years as a rad tech at FMC. Dr V. was a very kind man and a fine radiologist. I enjoyed reading about his family and all his accomplishments in his lifetime. He was truly a good soul. Nancy W Green

All who worked with John through Murray Symphony enjoyed his company and we truly realize what a talented musician he was. Most of all, we miss his smiling face and are amazed at his devotion to our group. Joann, thank you for your support as he shared his talents with us. It is truly an honor to have been able to associate with him.
