Not sure what to say?

I will always remember Dr. Sheridan as my mentor and friend when he was the medical director for the KY DOC for adult prisons. Without his support, I wouldn't have fared as well as i did during my days as a nurse supervisor at Eastern KY Correctional Complex in West Liberty.

He was a man of great integrity, didn't tolerate injustice and provided expert guidance to me and our staff.

I remember his stories about his dogs over the years as well as the pride and love he...

I still miss you daily. You held a special place in my heart. Now I feel you missing from my life. I truly wish we could have spent more time together after you retired. I hope you are walking on streets of gold with your wife and those fur babies of yours. You were my real life super hero.

I just came across this today, Tony was my uncle, my Aunt Donna loved him so very much. Their love for each other and their dogs was beautiful to see. What a kind gentile man...Very very sad to hear of his passing. He will be missed but I know him and Donna are having a ball in Heaven. Rest in Peace

My heart aches. I am just finding this news now.
On September 3rd Tony met us in Lexington at the Horse Park to visit. When I saw him I feared the graveness of his condition. But Tony wanted our time together that day to be about sharing wonderful memories and we did. After we were finished at the dog show we met Tony at the Whole Foods for dinner where we made Him get something healthy to eat. We talked and laughed and reminisced over a journey we shared when I was showing his and...

RIP my dear friend. You will be missed.

Doc was one of a kind, worked with him at DJJ. Such a kind man. Rest in peace Doc.

Loved Doc worked with him at DJJ. After he retired ran into him at Keeneland one early morning watching the horses work out, we talked awhile and that was the last time I got to see him. He will be missed.

Although I work in the legal branch at DJJ, I also work for the medical branch in a limited capacity. I absolutely loved working with Doc and hated it when he retired even though it was certainly time. I previously worked with him at D.O.C but didn't get to know him until I came to DJJ. He always had me roaring with laughter and we continued to meet for lunch several times a year after his retirement. I always made sure to send him a birthday card and a Christmas card every year after he...

Tony and I shared a journey of taking Donna's and his animals through the rest of their lives. For over ten years we shared stories, laughter, and then the occasional grief when we would lose one to old age. That made us like family at some point and there was really nothing I would not have done for him. He had such a way with words when telling a story or even just in leaving a message for me that there are phrases from a decade ago that I still remember exactly and can hear him saying. He...
