It is with a sense of sadness but also of pride that we write this tribute to Jack Stewart. Sadness because he was not only a personal friend but also a friend to the whole of his profession; pride because we were privileged to work closely with this man who contributed so much to the welfare of veterinarians in New Zealand. Jack died on Christmas Day after an illness which finally saw him withdraw from his favourite activities: veterinary science, thoroughbred breeding and providing advice to colleagues, clients and friends.
