To Doc's family,
I recently learned of Doc's passing. I have many fond memories of the excellent care he provided as vet to our horses on Cedar Hill Farm. My siblings, Gary and Gwen, and my dad, Phil Heffner, learned a lot about horses from him! He will be missed by many...

I worked for "Doc" 40 yrs. ago as an assistant while attending Ohio University and Ron & I enjoyed sitting with Doc @ the basketball games & seeing him @ the Wigwam too. He will be missed. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers, Bonnie (Campbell)McCarty & Ronnie McCarty

Dear Norma: Sorry to hear of Doc's passing. Could not get to the service due to wife's illness. Surely enjoyed knowing Doc (as my father was a Vet also) and I always liked working for him. Buzz
