He turn an two bedroom house into and three bedroom house.But most of all he was the doctor of cars and like most doctors he would tell you wants wrong with your car while it was running.He love to have family cookouts,taking fun vacations,sleeping in his lounge,and most of all he love NFL.This the memory of an good man,role model,and just person with a good heart.I am going to miss my dad and the laughter when I told him something silly. I love you Doc From Ray

Doc was a positive male role model before I realized that I needed one. I remember him buy my cousins and I Bojangle's and Cracker Barrel biscuits. He took me on my first road trip to Florida in "the van". He was also a model business man with a work ethic I've come to admire! Doc! You will be missed.
