I met you & Ivana once at a level 1 course in Northern California. I was fortunate enough to bring my horse with me and was blessed that you worked on him as part of the class.

I am sure you were met by a stampede of horses up there, all wanting to thank you for the benefits you have bought to their species - perhaps they were after a bit of ET as well!

"Drahá Ivanko, upřímnou soustrast.Zrovna jsem se dověděla s bolestí v srdci, že nás Jock opustil. Podstoupila jsem s Vámi v Česku obě nezapomenulelné školení a předali jste mě něco co dokáže člověk jen s velkým darem. Pořád na Vás vzpomínám. Tobě přeji velkou sílu zdolat ztrátu milovaného člověka a Jockovi můžeme jen přád klid duše a krásné koňácké nebe. S láskou Dáša z ČR. "

"Dear Jock, Where does one start after 47years of friendship.
Since your passing Jock there has not been a day go by that we do not reflect on our time spent together. Our friendship started back in your wrestling days but after retirement from the ring our friendship continued to grow and in more recent years came to include your beautiful wife Ivana. Jock, you were one of a kind. Over the years you have touched the hearts of many and will be truly missed by those fortunate to have had contact with you. Although no longer with us in person we know your spirit will always remain. Say hi to Bob & Al from us both. We can see you all sitting on a big white fluffy cloud Bourbon in one hand and a cigar in the other keeping an eye on all below.
Until we meet again buddy.
Yours in friendship
Love Bryan & Bev"

"Jock, what can we say. You were only in our lives for a very short time, but we miss you immensely. Seeing you standing on the terrace, watching your beloved Ivana working on the grounds, was a sight to behold (and give cheek about) but we miss that sight. I miss your cheeky phone calls calling me "daughter" - ha ha, only a few years difference. Your soulmate really misses you, it has been really hard for her to carry on without you, but she is doing pretty well. Good days and bad days for Ivana. We will always remember you, Jocko, and will treasure the brief time we were in your life and the wonderful stories you shared with us each and every day (even though at first I thought you were full of rubbish) - something I found was not true. Rest in peace Jock, Kevin really misses your presence in our area, and we both will miss you more than we can say. A funny thing, considering our brief relationship. Farewell, dear Jock, the pain has now gone. Love Bev and Kevin. xxx

I'm just hearing about your transition and and surprised and saddened. Thank you so much for all you taught me and for your encouragement with Bowen Technique back before the horse courses. You recognized my skill even before I had it and I'm always grateful for your encouragement of my Bowen practice building. Bless you, Linda"

"Jock didn't write his name on the sand for the waves to wash it away.

Nor did he write his name in the sky for the wind to blow it away.

Jock wrote his name in the hearts of the people and animals he touched.

That’s where it will stay.

Love you Jock wherever you are"

From Minnesota , to Texas to Monte Roberts in California where I saw you for the last time, you have touched many hearts and lives, and will always be remembered. To Ivana, may Jocks love and strength surround you each and every day.
Aloha,

"Jock and Ivana, I know today is a special time for remembrance but you can be sure that throughout the rest of the year family members, friends and herds of grateful equines the world over are remembering you in their thoughts and prayers. Not a single day goes by that I dont think of you both. Jock, your words of wisdom will always be my guide.

Jock, there has been such a void since you left us, which is difficult to fill. You were such a special character, and one who cheered us up when we were down.

We all hope that you are with Ivana every day, helping her get to grips with things, and keeping us all in line.

God Bless you for giving us all such a wonderful gift, and for Ivana carrying on the work you started.

I am sure you are in everyone's thoughts more often than you realise."

I told Jock that I was privileged to have been taught by the best. and humbly, Jock said that he wasn't the best. But I beg to differ. That was back in 1990's in a Pennsylvania countryside we had that class. Good memories. Thanks again for your wonderful contribution to a healthier, happier life for all who choose to have such. My sincere gratitude!!"

This was before Ivi's english was fluent and he would have her say words that came out sounding like a 4 letter words.. Such a gentleman I enjoyed his stories and wise views of the world... Thank you both xxxooo
