I was introduced to Dr. Zirkle when I joined USDA Veterinary Services NJ field staff in 1991, and had the privilege of working with him for the 10 years I was stationed in NJ. I learned a great deal from him in those years, in particular how to gain cooperation from farmers who had previously had a contentious experience with a regulatory agency, and that skill continues to serve me well as I approach my 30th year with USDA. I found Dr. Zirkle to be easygoing, and easy to talk to, and he could be counted on to see the humor in a situation. My sympathies to all those who knew and loved him, and may his memory always be a comfort to you all.

Doc Zirkle hired me in 1986 to work for him at the NJDA. He was a great boss who never got angry, he was calm, thoughtful, and had a good sense of humor. He thought "outside the box", and had common sense. I have many fond memories of cooking Pigs with him for board of ag dinners and for USAHA meetings. He really loved his garden and always showed me what he was growing. He helped me along the way as a young man raising a young family. He taught me how to cook rabbit. You knew he had your back as a boss. He will be missed. He had a big influence on my life. May he rest in peace.

Cindy and Family, So very sad to hear of Ernie's death. He was a friend and mentor for many years. I worked with him on various committees and projects for both USAHA and AAEP. He was always engaged and committed to issues and I looked forward to seeing him at conventions and other meetings. Shortly after he retired as the NJ State Veterinarian, he was instrumental with a job offer and I traveled to NJ for an interview and visited you and Ernie and had a wonderful lamb dinner with herbs! Now retired myself, I have fond memories of all the discussions, projects and other communications involving Ernie. He gave a lot to the profession. Best wishes,
Venaye P Reece-McGlashan, DVM

Through the 4-H Veterinary Club, I worked at Wilwynn Animal Hospital with Dr. Zirkle and Max in ‘69-‘72. What wonderful memories I have of assisting on spay and neuter day and going out on calls with him. I learned and saw so much. Experiences I will never forget. He was always kind and helpful to all of us 4-H members. My condolences to the family. May God bring you comfort. Respectfully, Jill L. Ransom
