   Dear Mrs. Register and Family,
   Very sad indeed to hear of Jack’s passing. I’ve know Jack since 1996 and over time I have met several pople of the Register family. Jack and I have travelled for business in various European counties promoting Cal Drench. From Sweden in the North to Spain in the South. Always happy and with a smile on his face. Also we have welcomed both Jack and Eileen here in The Netherlands on more than one occasion. But more than welcome we have felt every time we were visiting Menomonie as one of the most memorable stops in our farm tours. Enyoying a good hamburger and a beer on the porch! Dear Eileen, John, Sharon, Mary and everybody I heard of but never met, our thoughts are with you all for the loss of a great man, husband, father and grandfather and for sure a Gentle Man in every meaning of the word.

   Sadden to here of Jack's passing. Jack and I were high school classmates. Both attended 2019 class reunion. Sat at the same table with Hugh, Ralph, Marilyn and Nancy. Wonderful remembrance. Many classmates have passed away since that reunion, so sad God bless them all.

   Dear Eileen and family,
   I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Jack as a kind, dedicated, and funny guy.
   Jack brought excitement and joy to our family as we got glimpses of his wonderful life. He was an inspiration to us all as he practiced medicine in our backyard and participated in community events especially fun family races. We all treasured his visits to Hoffman Hills. So grateful for his lifelong friendship with my sometimes cantankerous father. He was our James Herriot and helped make our time in Dunn County “bright and beautiful.”
   Jack will be Dearly missed by our family!

    Mrs. Register and Family,
    I'm sorry to hear about Jack passing. He was a great library patron and avid book listener. This is how I meet him. He always talked about the books he enjoyed. But most of all he shared about his family and trips around the world. May his memories and great smile bring you peace and comfort.

    Jack was our vet for many years. One day I called him because a calf had been born early in a pen of heifers and it had a broken leg. Jack took one look at the poor little critter and asked why i bothered with it. I told him that i felt sorry for it, I heard him mutter "You women" under his breath as he got out the plaster and set the leg. Jerry had been gone to a meeting and muttered the same thing when he got home, but as long as the leg was set, he let the calf live. Turned out to be one of the best producers that we had. Thanks to Jack!! He was always such a good vet. My thoughts and prayers go to the family. Lois Sipple
