Not sure what to say?

Still miss Doc. He was the best, can’t find another doctor I’m content with. Doc was a great friend and I miss him. Prayers for his family.

Doc was the best, doctor and friend. I still can’t find a doctor to replace him. I totally miss him. Beside my doctor he was my friend.

Such a wonderful person who left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

I still miss my doctor, and friend. He was one of a kind. When I see another patient of his we talk how much we miss him. I start going to him at 18 when he first came to Oxford on Poplar Street with Goldy, Heck n Princell. He delivered both my sons and the lost of my husband John. I miss my friend.

Its been a year but it seems like 10. Doc was my doctor but he was a friend too. My family had beenlost without his help. I was one of his first patients when he came to town and he delivered my boys . His wit and knowledge was a wonderful combination. I miss you Doc. You were a special person.

In trying to reconnect with my cousin, Barbara Pinotti, I discovered my cousin Roger had passed away. I have fun memories of when we were kids growing up in Minneapolis.

I will miss his memory and share in your loss. Cousin Penny Princell Harness

I just found out that Doctor Princell is no longer inhabiting his corporeal body - I still can't catch my breath. This Earth is a lot less caring without him. I will forever miss his hugs. What a lovely, lovely man he was, and a wonderful doctor.

I shared one memory at the service but as I watched the last slide show a better one came to mind.
Dr. P always held my arm under his arm as he took my blood pressure. When I was little I used to wonder what he would do if I tickled him when he did this. About five years ago, I finally told him that I had always wanted to tickle him. He started chuckling and then went on to giggling like I had never seen. So much that he couldn't stop to actually take my blood pressure. Every time he...

The BEST of the best! Heaven gained a legend. You will certainly be missed ! May God Bless your family !
