Jackson
Muldoon, 1947 - 2010
Jack
Muldoon, founder of Pacific Propagators and Trans-Pacific Nursery, died on September
8, 2010
leaving the world poorer and less interesting. He will be lovingly remembered
by his family
and legions of friends around the world. Of his many talents, the one best-loved
was grafting,
and that is how he spent his final days.
Family
and friends will continue to operate the nursery.
