Pat, so sorry to hear about Jack. He was a wonderful friend to Charlie and me. I know he and Charlie are swapping stories in heaven as they did for years in our barn. I will have to miss the service as I have covid.
Jack took care of the Doskal herd for years. We looked forward to his visits and his great jokes and dangerous farmer tales. He was a one of a kind wonderful
Pat and Family,
Our sincerest condolences. We enjoyed the times we got to spend with Jack. We especially loved spending time with him getting our own personal tour of the farm. Bob liked getting to share their common interests in tools with Jack. “He had a workshop like none I’ve never seen.”
May he Rest In Peace.
Bob & Jan Hoff
I remember Thanksgiving dinners at Grandma K.’s. Jack loved to tease us and try to step on our toes. He always wore his cowboy boots. As we grew he told us stories and would try to make us laugh. Now that we are adults he’d share information on horses, farming and working in his barn. He will be missed. We love you Jack.
Jack was our farrier for decades, and always enjoyed joking with my father and my brother. He recommended a private barn when my boarding situation ended, and I now own that barn.
His skill and knowledge were extremely beneficial for me and my horses, and we miss him! Please accept my sincere sympathy in your loss .
Pat. I just heard from David Hunt about Jack. I’m so very sorry. He was a wonderful guy. I always looked forward to our monthly visits. I think we did more talking and swapping jokes than anything. Shoeing was taking longer and longer! Lol. He can look after my babies up there. The world will miss him as I know you will Again ,Pat I’m so very sorry for your loss. Donna Singer
Pat,
The few times I met Jack, he was always working hard, just as you both did together. I know that life will be so different for you. Know that you can call me anytime. I still want a tour of your farm and the calf you plucked from the mud. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Let’s go on one of our own side day trip. Peace and love.
