Doc will be missed dearly , there is no way for me to explain what DOC friendship meant to me. We have shared a friendship for 20 years. I look back over the years and my great times like kids High School and College graduation parties ,cookouts and Hoildays Doc has been part of, and one of my Worst moments in life my Mothers passing Doc was there willing to help in anyway he could. He has been a huge piece of our FAMILY!!!My grandson Jaiden would always be in our yard or out front helping his UNCLE DOC !! I can remember looking out our back window and seeing DOC on the deck with his feet up reading a book, and me opening the window , being like what are you doing DOC ? and he smiles and replies just RELAXING BROTHER!!!! WELL BROTHER YOU ARE RELAXING AND WILL BE MISSED!! Love Dullivan/Dunlap Family
