Wow, just wow... Words can't express how sad I feel. I called to speak my old colleague and friend from Friends and she shared the bad news with me. When I worked there, Doc was a person that made me love coming back to work. He made it worth getting out of bed and starting my day. His smile would light up the whole room because it was so genuine. When he was in a good mood he would sweet talk most of the staff, leaving all of us to fight over who he loved more. He called us all sweetie, hon, and other sweet nothings. One day he wouldn't talk to anyone but he told me, "Hey tootsie, how's it goin?" I loved hearing what he had to tell me about his day or what he thought. He will surely be missed. My thoughts are with his whole family. I love you all. <3

My deepest sympathies to the entire family. Dr. O always seemed to know the right thing to say to a young kid. His direct humor and passions were always something that you could admire and learn from.
