Mr Dover was one of the first my family met when we moved to Columbia County. He was the kindest, most caring man who we remained friends for a long long time. And could he ever fix cars!!! He was a very talented man and a very giving person. His many services to our country proved that. He was such a soft spoken man and a true gentleman. May God bless each of you as you grieve this precious soul.
