Bobby Doerr

One of the original modern RED SOX greats -I saw him play when I was 6 yrs old at old yankee stadium with Ted Williams -A great player -An honest good person -Brad Suneson Knoxville Tn

I have grown up watching the Sox, and although I am way too young to have watched him play, I know the greats by name as a fan. Had the opportunity to meet Don and he was the nicest guy around. Thank you for inviting me to the funeral. I was unable to attend sadly but I will always remember the kindness you showed by sending me the invite. I'm sorry for your loss but he will forever live in the hearts of every Red Sox fan, young and old. Goodbye Silent Captain, God speed.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. He will be remembered for his talent on the baseball field. May you find comfort and help in God during this time of sorrow.

I saw Bobby Doerr play in Chicago and St. Louis. In a950 I witnessed a double header in which the Red Sox won both games and moved into first place. The second game lasted sixteen innings. Doerr's defensive play was outstanding; time after time he turned potential rbi hits into outs. I called him after his wife died;Itold him I had seen that
double header, and he remembered that night.
He remembered making one play in which he moved to this left, cleanly scooped up a smash by Jim Busby and threw out the speedy runner on close play. We both seemed to enjoy the memory. I later attended a baseball card show, and introduced myself as he signed my copy of The Teammates. Bobby was classy both on and off the diamond. I am 81 years old and he was still my hero.

My heartfelt condolences and prayers for the Doerr's family. May Almighty God in his infinite wisdom grant solace during this most challenging time. Bobby was truly a talented and compassionate man of integrity. We will always remember his fine legacy. We will all miss Bobby very much. With Love & Prayers

I'm writing for 2 men from Junction City, both have passed away. They both always had good words to say about Bobby Doerr and thought highly of him. The first man was my Dad, Holger Jensen, City Recorder of Junction City, he always enjoyed it when Mr. Doerr came into his office or he just saw him around town, my Dad always talked very highly of Bobby, a Christian man and a friend to Many. The second man I am writing for is Dr. Clifford Matson, I was talking to his daughter recently and she asked me to include his thoughts of Mr. Doerr. A wonderful, kind man and a Christian man. All 3 had this in common, kindness, fair men and all Christians. Junction City has lost their Baseball Hero, but I'm sure these 3 men will meet and have a great talk when meeting in Heaven.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

GOD BLESS,

Wish there were more players like Bobby Doerr today. They loved the game and were
grateful and honored to play. We were glued
to the TV to watch or to the radio !!
Thank You Mr Doerr for being a great American ball player who brought us so
much joy and dedication to the sport.

Bobby became my friend after we met in 2008 . A very caring and respected man with great dignity and honor.. He will be greatly missed

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your love one.

Don, I am sorry to read of the loss of your father. My condolences to you and your family.

I have thought of you often, the last few years. I wondered what you were thinking and if you were still fishing. I wondered how much baseball you were watching and which players you liked. I respected you and enjoyed the chats we would have about my Royals. I know you had a full life and now you are back with Monica. Until we meet again!

May the God of all peace bring comfort to the Doerr family and friends at this difficult time.

Rip God bless

Grew up hearing stories about him from my father. Wrote him later in life and he signed cards for both my son and I. Ask any baseball autograph collector - He is the nicest player to ever grace the game. He will be greatly missed.

A class act who left an indelible mark on Red Sox Nation and on those of us who love the Rouge River. Grace and peace be with Bobby's family and neighbors who will surely miss him. We give thanks for a life well lived.

May the family find comfort during this time of loss through the promise God has given us. John 6:40

RIP, Bobby Doerr.

He & Ted Williams, started at Centinela Park, playing semi-pro ball with Inglewood, CA Chiefs, then with PAC Coast league, San Diego..

My mom's all time favorite Red Sox player and somebody I grew up with in my early days of interest in baseball. A great guy and only wish more professional athletes could be like him. His wife, my mom and dad, and so many others who idolized and loved him are with him now.

To the Doerr family, my deepest sympathy on your loss. Red Sox fans keep our players close to our hearts. I will keep Bobby Doerr in mine. Rest in peace Mr. Doerr.

As a lifetime Red Sox fan who has tremendous respect for the old timers, Id like to express my sincere condolences to the Doerr family. I heard Bobby say during an interview that he will be reunited with his wife someday...together again with your loving wife and teammates, God bless your soul. -John Souza

Rest in Peace

One of my three favorite Red Sox( Doerr, Mel Parnel, Dom Dimogio). What a player but moreso, what a person. He represents baseball as well as anyone has in history. A credit to his sport, his community, and to his country. It's an honor to be a fellow veteran. With a heavy heart I send out prayers to all of his family and for his memory.

Fished with Bobby on the Rogue. What a class guy. He gave me a signed have ball that still have. Showed me his collection of Ted Williams flies and the fly rod . SO special. Rest in peace Bobby.

my boyhood idol. met him, son and grandson at unveiling of "The Teammates"

Godspeed Bobby, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us

Rest Bobby, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

My sincere condolences for your loss. May God comfort you. Matt.5:4
