Wonderful coach and mentor. Never won a game one year but he made it a magical season of fun to include trips to the Tastee Freez regardless of the final score! Blessings and prayers to his family.

Doc was an icon, a true example of following Christ, a friend, and a mentor. We have some wonderful memories with him and Betty, eating together, studying God´s word, worshipping, and laughing. We loved getting his Christmas cards, because he took the time to write, as well as send little tidbits of humor or inspiration that he had cut out of magazines. I know he is so thrilled to be in God´s presence. Peace to his loved ones.
