He spent many hours milking cows and pulling weeds before the cowboy lifestyle took his interest. He spent several years thereafter calf roping, training horses, and rodeoing. Although that lifestyle was profitable, injuries put it to rest in the 1970's where he began trucking cattle and horses for Calhoun Packing Co. Jack immediately became one of the best and most respected buyers on the market, trucking livestock to places as far away as Canada and France. In the 1980's he also produced one of the most attended calf ropings in the area. Although it only lasted a short time, one of Jack's most proud moments was when he purchased the Dewey Sale Barn in 2000.Jack was a very special and talented man. He was active in the horse/cattle industry up until his passing. You'd even find him pacing a small town auction on weekends. He will be tremendously missed.Although his family and friends are left with great sadness, they are also left with wonderful memories, words of wisdom, and the good fortune of having had him a part of their lives.He is preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Irma, and sister, Gaile.Memorial services will be performed by Bill Bowman and will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, February 11, 2017 at the Baptist Church in Skiatook, 940 W Oak St.Contributions can be made to the, Jack Barlow Funeral Fund; Armstrong Bank 551 Harrison St., Pawnee OK 74058
