We came to Dr. Mcalpin about a year and a half ago. My children loved him as their dentist. He even won over my daughter, wich is very hard to do. I was sad, yesterday, to hear of his passing. My daughter said that he was with God, so it was okay. Rest well in peace, Doc!

I had the privilege to serve Dr. McAlpin when he was a regular guest at the Super 8 Motel Owensboro Kentucky. He had a good sense of humor and was kind to everybody. He loved our orange juice in the Super Start breakfast. Gods love to your family.
