Rena and family I just saw Jacks Obit on line and wanted to reach out and send my belated condolences. It has been so many years since we shared a fence in 15th Ave. Those were simple and wonderful times. I hope Jacks memory will live long in his grandchildren. Please pass along my regards to everyone at this sad time.

Good Morning:
I have such fond memories of Jack. As a surgical resident here in Saskatoon, he was an excellent teacher and mentor. I loved his very dry sense of humour!. During the early years of my career, Jack was my go to for advice on pathology of skin cancers.
He was immensely proud of his family - and always underplayed how knowledgeable he was in his field.
I am sure he will be missed but when I read about his passing, all I had were great memories of a man with a big heart and considerate manner.

I worked with Dr. Adolph at St. Paul's Hospital in the "old" lab in 1969, along with Dr. Young. Dr. Adolph was a wonderful man, you could hear his cane coming around the corner. Betty Claassen, Edmonton, Alberta
