Doc was a man who had a lot of interests. I knew him as KB4GJB. He always greeted me when I attended the ham radio meetings, and never failed to pass along some informative ideas to me, as well as to seek my opinions on matters. I really enjoyed knowing this smart man. Rest in peace Doc. You will be missed.
