RIP Jack Daniels

According to an email from his wife, Nancy, “He died happy after watching the Green Bay Packers win last night. He tested the Packers team when he was a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, and has loved the team ever since.”

I never read any of of his books/manuals (not my flavor of literature, sorry), but I know a few here have

may his memory be eternal…

double major in maths and PE, didn’t know that…
also interesting that he loved coaching at DII and III colleges, a good man…

Daniels’ influence on U.S. distance running is hard to overstate<

Boy, is this the truth! RIP

I must agree

As I said, even though I never read his work, I was aware of it, and knew people who could probably quote book:chapter:verse as with a Bible

That comic is hilarious!

I haven’t read many books in my time, as much as I’ve bought a lot with good intentions. That one did hit all the right places for me.

Have been out of the game for some time and didn’t realise he was still around. Thank you Jack for captivating me during a more active period of my life.

Legend! I’d tried a bunch of things over the years without much luck, then grabbed his book on a buddy’s recommendation. Worked like a charm for me.

Thanks, and RIP JD!
