      Doc was a PEOPLE person. He loved being the center of attention, a story teller and jokester! He had a love for a good hand of dominoes or 42 and spent lots of time under the Cedar Tree on Hemphill's Courthouse Square. He was always a Teacher, loved organization and everything fine tuned. Doc had a love for music and reading and enjoyed politics. His passion was traveling. He and Wilma spent many years of camping and RVing with their family! Many summers were spent on the Frio River in Leakey,TX and Garner State Park and after retirement, motor homing across the USA. Doc wore many hats, figuratively speaking. Hats were his signature.
