To MaryAnn, John, Michael, Michelle and Wayne:

Again I am so sorry for your loss! Cedar and Hagert is already missing something and that is Doc! He was truly a great man. I hope he has found peace.

Doc, I hope you have found peace. You could always cheer me up when I needed it! I will miss seeing you at Cedar and Hagert! You were like a fixture there. Summer time is quickly approaching and it is going to be really weird this first summer not seeing you there!!

Rest in Peace Pal! Enjoy eternity!

Doc
In the last weeks of your final illness, you have been freed from the burdens of normal existence, and have entered the stage of profound mediation.
I will treasure what we shared in conversation as your friend while you continue on your path where one cannot follow. You will be forever missed as I look across the street.
