He had a wealth of knowledge in gardening and Biblical scripture, and he was very gifted in planting seeds of truth in those whose lives he touched. As it is written; Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for all the earth is Mine. Exodus 19:5. Doc is a treasure to God and has been a treasure to all who knew him. He will be greatly missed.

The family would like to express a deep heart felt gratitude to the dedicated staff of Lackey Convalescent Home in Forest, MS, for their friendship, support and loving care of Doc these past few years.
