I have thought of "Jag" quite often. How could I not when he delivered all four of my children. He was not just a great doctor, but a friend. I was so sad to read of his passing but he did indeed live his life just the way he wanted. He made me laugh when I cried. He made me relax when I was scared. Thank you Jag. I hope I'm lucky enough to meet an honorable man such as yourself one day.

I just saw where Dr Jager passed away in January. Im sending my heartfelt condolences to his family. I was so sad when I came across his obituary . Dr. Jager delivered my 3 health children and he was always so caring and truly concerned for my babies. He was one of a kind and I adored him. I have so often thought of him through the years . He'd always make me laugh at my appointments and had a way of putting me at ease with his caring and humorous nature. This area has lost a wonderful doctor and human being. He truly did live life as he wanted it.

Dr. Jager was an awesome obstetrician who had
a wonderful personality and sense of humor.
I am sending my condolences to the family but I know that he is leaving you with such great memories and laughter, that these stories will
be told for generations, for I have told by daughter
many thing he has said to me while I was pregnant
with her and she laughs with tears in her eyes, I said he was one of a kind!

Dr. Jager delivered my 3 sons. He was one of the best doctors I've ever known. He was efficient, knowledgeable and humorous. I was so sad when he retired, but I was happy for him. Prayers and condolences to his family.
