Doc,
It´s been a while, time flies by. lives change, careers change.
One thing has never changed. when I was a young guy working for a corporate Flight department. I got a little snippy with you. Your response was simply who the hell are you?
I picture that moment in my head like it was yesterday. Lol.
That was a beginning of a great relationship. You helped me expand my career and by doing so enhanced my family´s life.
I will forever be thankful to you. But, as a friend, not a customer. I enjoyed our conversations and adventures in our time together. You´ll always be in my prayers as I have prayed for you since 2014.
SemperFi Brother,
Chris Edelbrock

I served with Doc at Hakata, Japan from 1961 to 1963, when he was in the US Navy. We were good friends and I still remember him well. He was from Minnesota and was a devoted Vikings fan. I'm so sorry to learn of his passing. He was an extremely nice guy whom everyone liked. My condolences to his family.

There are so many good crazy memories of Doc and his uniqueness. As a young sales guy Doc pushed many of us and made us better. I can still hear him saying “BULL YOUR NECK AND GET IT DONE” Travel well Marine as there is place in Haven for all Marines. Semper Fi

I had the pleasure of meeting many people in my life. There were only a few who left a lasting impression on me. Doc was the only one at the top of that list. Know that he touched many people in the most positive of ways. God bless and hold him in our thoughts.
