Our family is saddened by the loss of Doc. He and your entire family were such a part of our family and of our childhood. When it is said that "it takes a village to raise a child", Doc was a big part of that village. His kindness and unselfessness was a gift he passed on to many, including his children. Our hearts are sad.
