What an amazing loss... I worked as a nurse at MCC and always knew "Doc" was never far away when needed or not needed!! I am one of the lucky ones to have been able to share in a small part of his life. Be proud of who he was and what he did for others...Doc had a heart of gold. The loss is huge... but the loving, funny,and sum what crazy memories are never ending!!

To "Doc's" family, I convey to you my most sincere sympathy and heartfelt condolences at this very difficult time. "Doc",truly, was "one of a kind", both as a supervisor and as a friend. And to those of us who had the pleasure of "serving our time" with him at M.C.C., his passing will no doubt leave an unfillable void in all of the lives that he touched. Goodbye, "Doc"...
