Loring R. Alstadt

Brad & carey,
It is with a heavy heart that we recall the many good times we have enjoyed with both Doc and Betty. Our partnership in owning a travel trailer together for several years and then our experiences when both of us were transferred from Roanoke to Schenectady and then back to Roanoke. They proceeded us with each move and helped us in many ways with our moves each time providing temporary storage for our extra cars and perishable foods and even temporary housing. Doc's...

What a pleasure to have known "Doc". That wonderful smile & personality gifted many at GE each day. God's peace to you all.

I was just thinking about Doc a couple of days ago and then I received an e-mail that Doc had died. I simply sat there and cried. He will be missed. Doc was truly an inspiration to anyone who played tennis with him or against him. If he could play at his age then I could play at mine. When Doc stopped playing tennis, I think he began his preparation for his transition. My condolences to his sons.

Doc was such a happy person. I always loved to see him at church as he made all of us glad with his kind spirit.
Any person who knew Doc is a better person for the experience.

Brad and Carey,

Sorry to read about the passing of your Dad. As a teenager I always enjoyed his humor and good nature. I won't being able to attend his funeral but my thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Doc was one of the best individuals I have met in many years. He had a great sense of humor and I always kidded him each Sunday that he better hurry up and get a seat in the sanctuary before all the seats were sold out. He and I always got a big chuckle out of that. He will be sorely missed by his Windsor Hills United Methodist family and there will always be a place in his church for his spirit to watch over all of us.

We have known Doc for over 50 years. Since the days we moved to Roanoke in 1955. Our association with him was in the early to mid 50's when our son Mark Lang was in his scout troop and I was a den mother. Doc was always a kind and gentle man of great integrity. We are sorry for his loss and express our sincere sympathy to his two sons.

May God bring you comfort and peace during the days to come.
