Dear Shirley & Family,
You have my deepest sympathy. I knew "Jack" for over 25 years and had coffee with him many mornings.
He was the most genuine and generous dentist I have ever known.
He was a great educator and mentor of many dental students. He will be dearly missed.

Dr. Schulz will always be remembered as a great mentor and professional. Without his guidance and support my dental school experience would not have been so rich. I am glad that I was able to carry on a professional relationship with Dr. Schulz well beyond graduation.
