Obituary — John Ewing Dixon Abbott

Abstract

Extract

Members of the profession will be sad to learn of the death of Jack Abbott. Few veterinarians may have known Jack as he had not been practicing for many years. He was, though, well known to those in practice in the north during the early sixties. His passing will be mourned by those he knew. The incredible way Jack and his family faced his passing is an outstanding example of courage and an inspiration to us all. It is a story I am honoured, yet humbled, to relate.
