Dr Eye was my family doctor 1965-70 when I was a resident of Franklin and music teacher at Franklin Elementary School. I am grateful always for his exceptional care and wisdom when I was his patient.
I found Dr. Eye's obituary listed on line and want to express my deepest sympathy to the Eye family. I remember his son Andy was one of my students.
Sincerely,
Barbara Adams

Our condolences and love to the family. This is a special memory from years ago our friends shared with us. We were vacationing at the Cowger-Pope farm and had to leave. Our friends from Fla stayed on. The father had a trail bike accident. He was so impressed to find a doctor who made house calls! Many others may have similar stories to share that reflect Dr. Eye's character.
