A wonderful Uncle and a truly great man. I miss him dearly but I know I will see him again. He is the type of person we should all strive to be like, gentle, kind, caring, loving and understanding. All who knew him loved him. He was a friend to all, a real life example of hoe God wants us to live our lives. For all you who have met him, please keep his message and memory moving forward and living on.

I was greatly saddened to hear that Dr. Jack had passed away. Dr. Jack gave me my first job, I worked for him through high school, college and the summers through vet school. I lost contact with him when he sold Villa, but never stopped thinking of him and the opportunity, example and friendship he gave me. He touched many lives. Mrs. Jack I am sorry for your great loss and will keep you in my prayers.

Dear Bonnie:
Sue & I were greatly saddened to hear about Bob. He was a tremendous force in veterinary medicine,a fun
classmate and shining example of how life should be lived. You and he were also on the cutting edge of diving, and shared that love equally.

My brother recently sent me a clipping from 1965, detailing the Vet/Pharmacy BB game in which Bob and Gary Cranney led the vets to their first victory in years over Pharmic. I had hoped to send a copy of that to you guys, and I will now send that separately to enjoin with all his other accomplishments, large and small.

Our thoughts, prayers and love are around you,

Larry & Sue Wiseman

Dr. Jack gave me my first job in the veterinary field, way back when I was in high school. He helped me get into vet school and helped me stay there when I was homesick. I was honored to work with him at Villa after I graduated. Even though the years put us many miles apart, I've never forgotten all the many things he taught me about veterinary medicine, and I like to think that I'm a better person for having known him. I'll always remember all the things he did for his staff- summer swim parties, Christmas parties, and all the little things he'd do at work to show the staff that he appreciated us. Mrs. Jack- I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm so glad I knew Dr. Jack and that he was the person that taught me how to be a veterinarian. My thoughts are with you now.

Dr. Jack took care of my two cats, Rennifer and MacGreggor for many years. He was an exceptional man, warm and loving to all creatures. I know he has gone over the rainbow bridge and is surrounded by his loved ones. He will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Dr. Jack took care of my two cats, Rennifer and MacGreggor for many years. He taught me how to administer medication to my pets without suffering their claws. He was an exceptional man, warm and loving to all creatures. I know he has gone over the rainbow bridge and is surrounded by his loved ones. He will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

There is a special place in my heart where I will keep my memories of Dr. Jack - his room brightening smile, his booming laughter and his unparalleled compassion. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you, Mrs. Jack.

He was my vet for years and was a compassionate and caring man. So sorry for your loss. I am sure my cat Jack (yes that was his name) is rubbing on his leg right now......
