I am so saddened to learn of Jackie’s passing. My heart is hurting. I met Jackie in 1974 during our first semester of pharmacy school at UK. We ended up living next door to each other in Blanding tower. We shared a lot of good times and laughs during those days and the years to come. Bob, I have lots of good memories with you, Jackie, and Dave at UK and the years to follow that I will cherish forever. Prayers for comfort for each of you. Rest easy my friend, I love you.
