Maynard L. "Doc" Dokken

I am deeply saddened to hear of Docs death. I hadn't seen him in many years, but remember the sunshine he brought into my life. He never complained about anyone or anything. Most people don't know how far his generosity extended...from those in a bind to people in the street and never expecting anything in return.
My memories are good, if any bad existed they are long gone and I remember only the man that brought so many people joy.

My deepest sympathies go out to the family of Maynard. I too work in the Itasca building, and will miss him very much. He was a wonderful, generous person with a great sense of humor. His loss will be felt throughout the Itasca.

Am so sorry to hear about Maynard. My memories of him are still when he was the youngest of the group. He was always fun to be with. It has been many years since I last saw him but he left foot prints on my heart.

The halls are so quiet without his bright energy. I actually hoped I'd run into him everyday on my way in and out of the building...and I usually did. He made my day better with his wit and I am better for having known him. Our puppy Izzie misses him too. Her entire butt would wag with the excitement of seeing him. I will never ever forget him and I miss him.

As a 5-year resident of the Itasca Building, Maynard was a wonderful part of my experience here. He called me Red and always had a silly or humorous thought to contribute to my day. I will miss you, Maynard. You were the sunshine in the Itasca and this building won't be the same without you.

I was so sad to hear about Maynard. I work in the Itasaca Building at the Twin Cities Musicians Union and Dan (our mailman) told me that he died on Friday. He was always a ray of sunshine in my day and he would bring the little "wiener dogs" Cernie and Zoe to see me at lunch when he had them out for a walk! I was aware that he was undergoing cancer treatment and my Mom was too. He always asked me about how she was doing and shared about his journey.

I will miss him so much, and will...
