The board and members of the Royal Pigeon Society "De Arend" Rekkem sincerely share in the mourning of the family MISPELAERE-MESSELY upon the passing of Mr. Jacques MISPELAERE from Moorsele.

We can say that Jacques was a pigeon enthusiast through and through, having been captivated by our beloved sport since childhood.
Together with his son Gino, racing under the name Jacques and Gino MISPELAERE, they recorded several remarkable results.
No less than 3 NATIONAL WINS brought their "champions" to Moorsele; one by one, they achieved these victories when the pigeons had to "work" to demonstrate their abilities. They won, among others, in 2010 LIBOURNE with yearlings against 6,757 pigeons, three seasons later in 2013 they won POITIERS against 13,148 pigeons, and in 2018 they added BRIVE to their impressive palmares, also against 9,278 competitors.
Jacques, the true people's friend who was straightforward, now leaves behind his family and many friends; he departed on his last flight, may you fare well!!!
We will continue to remember you in our thoughts!!!
The farewell to Jacques will take place in an intimate setting; a word of sympathy to the family can make this loss a bit more bearable.
Attached is the obituary.
For "De Arend" Rekkem

On behalf of Pitts, we wish friends and family great strength with this loss
