Unfortunately I will be out of town during the memorial service but I wanted his family to know that they and Kent are in my prayers. He was one of a kind and will be sorely missed by all of us in the Rice community.

Doc embodied all that Rice athletes strive to be. Articulate, intelligent, accomplished, honest, loyal, a great friend and team-mate.

Kent was a great man. He helped me when I was but a young pup with legal advice on CSNbbs. He was one of those rare people who added real insight, value, and community with each post.
