It's almost 30 years since Elvis died and I will always remeber the first time I met Doc at elvis inpersonater contest in the old building that he shared with the buses. Doc always had a good show. I will never forget those good times.

We are all thinking about you, Doc, now that Elvis Week is almost here again. It could never the same without you. Things are changing but, we are very grateful for all you did for us fans.

The Images of Elvis M.C. would say,"Doc,,the judges said they need about five more minutes,,,would you come on up and tell us another story about your times with Elvis? These were always the most precious minutes of the evening.
God Bless You All, Donnie B.

Dear Jackie
My wife and I were very sad to hear the news. we met so many years ago (1995) but we can't forget you and Ed for hugging us the way you did.
I hope to see you soon and we hope that all the love you and Ed shared with all of Elvis fans is coming back to you and keep your spirit up.
we sure miss you.

My thoughts nd prayers are with you

My thoughts, and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My deepest sympathy goes out to, you Jackie, Curt and the rest of the family. One of the greatest joys in my life was to meet you and Ed. Because of you I was able to bring my mothers life to full circle. Ed was really fun to be around and could charm the hair off of a cat. We are going to miss not seeing him again, but he will always be with us.

With Deepest Sympathy Jackie and the rest of your family. I had many good times in Memphis at the Elvis Convention. Betty Castle
