I always enjoyed being in your presence and I admire how you would always have a smile on your face when I saw you no matter how you were doing, you knew how to brighten up any room. You were very loved and you will be forever missed grandma Perry!

Dave(Doc) will be missed, he was such a happy kind hearted man.
I don't believe I ever saw Doc that he didn't have a smile on his face.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
