I had lunch with Jack Hanna at one of his shows. He is a genuine guy with only the best intentions for everyone within his grasp. One of the best hours of my life.
I remember watching his show on Saturdays when I was a child. His passion for animal welfare has always been such an inspiration to me. It's so sad to see someone you admire have this happen to them as they become a hostage of their own mind. I hope he is able to live his best life at this new stage in his life.
I love this man. Everything I know about animals, I think I learned from Jack Hanna. My son started his college career in Animal Management and on to Vet Medicine bc of watching Jack. My love and prayers go out to him and his family.
This disease of Alzheimer's is horrible I pray a cure is found soon, my dad suffers from it also. I have watched Jack for many years and my heart and prayers go out to him and his family.
@@nesq4104 Pharmaceutical Companies will never preach FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.....it is big business to manufacture drugs.......Has the World of Medicine compared the number of Alzheimer’s and Cancers in Africa and the Western World....
Thank God he has pictures and video of his life so sad to think he won't remember all of those adventures God Bless you Jack Hanna you taught me a lot and made my Saturdays at home with my family as A kid bearable.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
it’s a cruel disease my daddy has it and it’s like he is going on a trip non of us can go on all we can do is love,comfort him jack hanna has always been my favourite i send love and a prayer to him and his family
So sorry to hear about jack. I love him . I always watched his show. Dementia is such a cruel disease. I think my mother may also have it. She is not the same anymore.
This is so sad and I feel for the family. Having worked with patients in long term care and the Veterans home, it’s always the hardest to see families try desperately to make their elderly family member remember them. I hope that Jack’s family just makes him feel comfortable and provides him with immense amount of love.
May his family find comfort as they go through this horrible transition. But to know he is a treasure and hopefully they will have all the support they need. He is 100% still the same person on the inside, and has all the memories that he has always been and had, even if you don't see it on the outside.
He encouraged millions to take the high road with respect to conservation, habitat sustainability and awareness of animals going extinct. God bless him on his future journey, wherever it leads.
How can all these millions, and millions, and millions of dollars raised for YEARS like breast cancer foundations, and cancer foundations in general, STILL have nothing to fix these growing medical dilemmas. Bless Jack Hanna, what a great guy who educated so many and helped raise awareness of so many animals
Jack Hanna is my hero and the reason I had 4 horses, many many rescue dogs, cats, and a baby owl that was blown out of a tree when I was 6 that I had my dad call the county wildlife office about. A man came and carried the owl and raised it. When it was old enough the wildlife rep came to our house and released it back into the wild. Thank you Mr. Hanna. You are my hero.
My father in law passed away from Alzheimers. I wouldn't wish that illness on my worst enemy. It is mentally and emotionally devastating for all involved 😢 💔 Praying for Jack Hanna, his family, and FINDING a CURE for this horrific disease 🙏
I used to watch Jack Hanna making guest appearances on the Maury Show over the years. Sad that he’s battling dementia. Hope and praying that he gets well.
Man, this is very sad as I remember as a kid that I would watch his shows “Jack Hanna’s wild count down” on Saturday morning along with Jeff Corwin’s ocean adventures were my favorite to watch and it so sad to see one of my childhood hero’s having to no long participate with doing his wildlife shows and in public life
Jack Hanna is the best example of what is good and virtuous in this world. Definitely one of my idols, and a man who should have his message reverberate across generations.
As my own mother is losing her battle to this diseases, my heart goes out to Jack and his family, as for nearly half a century this animal ambassador devoted his life to conservation and raising awareness of the plight of animal's and their habitat loss; as man overtakes the planet... and now to have him rewarded with this horrific disease? It all seems like a cruel joke. For years he and his wife stood by his daughter's side as she battled cancer, and now to watch this ugly, unrelenting disease devour Jack's mind, what a horror for his wife and family... forced to watch Jack and this ear at the Columbus zoo fade. God Bless Jack Hannah and his family, they'll never be another like him. Jack was the Inspector Clouseau of animal welfare... loved by audiences everywhere for his bumbling, self deprecating humor as well as the money and awareness he raised for animal's everywhere..
As an Ohio native, Jack is one of my childhood heroes and as a child I wanted to be just like him. Even brought home a bucket of lake carp to my mother's bathtub because older boys were being mean to them.
I called the zoo once to see what I should do about a bat found inside. He happened to be around and took the call. Told me to tell my friend what I already told her, open doors and windows, it will leave. I later met him a few times while doing artwork on the exhibits at the Columbus Zoo. He’s a great guy! Got to feed and pet penguins! You will never forget the smell Jack!
I grew up watching him, and hope he doesn't suffer too much with the progression of his disease, but why are they talking about him as if he's already dead? He "was" this he "was" that, he's still the same person.
Just take care of him. I was out last night from 2 am until 4 am looking for a man with dementia who wandered off yesterday from his care facility. I didn't find him, I'll be out again tonight.
I hope they have tested him for Lyme/Bartonella and other bacterial diseases. He has been in such close proximity to animals, which can transmit all sorts of infections that cause dementia-like symptoms. Very sad.
Thanks for everything, Jack!! You educated and entertained me for most of my life. This progressive conservationalist sees the world and recognizes that not all her children are human beings. Enjoy each sunset. Positive vibes from New Hampshire and remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
I am going to be sad not see him showing his great animals!! He could make anyone laugh even when they were scared of the animals they were handling.. 😊
We will miss you everyday Jack ! Love your jokes with Letterman 😅 and on the Today show etc. My favorite is the butt sniffing monkey ! My grandchildren watch it over and over again along with all your other shows. They absolutely Love Jack ! My first grandchild iss named after you and loves and cares for all animals I'll try to send you a picture of him with his dog named Zoey and cat named Bernard along with his sister and cousins with their pets. They Love watching your shows, they are very educational and informative. Thank-You Jack and Suzi ! Oh and Thank-You Dave Letterman and Paul Schaffer ❤
Wisest of all. Recall him saying after Steve Irwin’s death after being killed by a “gentle” stingray that, “The only thing predictable about wild animals is that they’re unpredictable.”
What really causes this - some say chemicals in food, additives etc. Nutrient deficient foods. Etc. I wish a Study would be done on small farms run by families who eat their own chemical free foods. Our local farmer lived to almost 90. He never lost Any of his memory and kept his all his faclties. Enjoyed visitors.
Jack Hanna and his Wife, have dedicated their lives, to protecting endangered species, in Africa and other parts of the World. They did that, in such a kind and diplomatic way, yes We could give Him the title, of Ambassador of Endangered Species, The White Rhino, the Black Rhino, The Great Panda Bear, Snow Leopards, Elephants. In a World where the uneducated, attempt to use Ivory as a Medicinal. Jack Hanna has been around so long on television, We really can't remember, when he wasn't on some show, showing us Kuala Bears, Raptors, Lemurs and thousands of other wonderful Animals, All are Gods Creatures , to be treated with respect and protected, from poachers.
Dam Dam Dam Dam Dam. Such a good and fun guy to watch and listen to. Samantha people are ravaged by this Dam disease. I hope they can keep him happy for as long as possible.
We all have an expiration date My uncle was diagnosed with dementia and then lived another 25 years with it... to the ripe age of 95 he was a nyfd officer .. hIs fire House he used to work at was one that first responded to The twin towers but this was many decades after he retired The last six years were probably some of the worst my aunt had Alzheimer's during the same time they died about a month apart in the same house and this was a couple years ago.. About five months before my owns mothers death She died of cancer within a three month period..

So people enjoy your life be good to others.Because our time will come soon enough .. Subscribe to my channel help a fellow RU-vidr
My heart is broken for Jack and my heart is broken for me, as I loved Robin and this channel until you went totally left and ruined news for me. I loved you so very much. I watched and saw for myself what happened and it just broke my heart. I prayed for you Robin and I still pray for you, and George you hurt my heart. All we wanted was justice and that was to hear both sides. Please forgive me for writing here and it is o.k. You erase it because I do miss you terribly but after you crushed Trump and his family unless there is I am sorry in there someplace I can never watch you again, and so many of my friends feel the same way. We all miss you.
