To the Hester Family, Dock will be truly missed. From the time l first met him in the late 1970's, l could tell his personal manner and disposition was genuine. In the short times we had l learned even in just his interaction with other people. He was quick to help out and give me advice on cooking, gardening and life in general. He showed me how to change a tractor tire in the field and then took the time to show my Grandson how to drive and operate the tractor. These things mean alot.
Thank you for sharing Dock with us.
