I will miss him

Doc was on my mind all day Thursday (2/6) and now I know why. I knew he was quite ill and in the short rows, but I had hopped he had some good days left. He leave a big hole in this old world. God speed Doc, may you have fair winds and following seas.

wit & wisdom. Prayers for you folks.

Hadn't seen his name around in a long time, but I certainly remember his helpful posts in the Earp.com days.

I think it was about the 2nd or 3rd year we held CSA in Clarksville.

We have lost a truly good, interesting gentleman.

It was a privelage to know Doc, fairwell to a friend.John

Please accept my condolences. Doc bought a couple of guns from me a few years back and I greatly enjoyed our phone conversations while we were doing the deal. I'd never have guessed he wasn't in his 40s when we talked. God bless him and keep him.

John and Barbara Purcell, along with Linda and I. spent a wonderful evening out with Doc and his wife in Little Rock where doc was attending an outdoors writing convention.
Doc was a friend, and he will be missed.

Sorry for the loss to family and friends, and to the firearms world.

It was my very great privilege to have corresponded with Doc, if only about matters revolver related. He was a most learned gentleman, and I will always treasure a signed book he sent me with a very personal inscription. He was not just a master medic, author, and father, he was an excellent observer of the human heart as well.

He is missed.

Condolences to the family. He was a fine gentleman.

and for the loss to the Sixgun Heritage. Like Elmer and those gone past, he will live in his printed words, and the memories of those present.

Another good one gone too soon.

May he rest in God's care now.

In the early 2000s, I partnered with Doc to write a 92,000+ word manuscript for a probably-never-to-be-published Western novel based on an original idea of his: "The Six-Pointed Star, or Levy's Last Gamble," was its working title.

Took us almost a year and half to get through all of the drafts and we did it all through email correspondence and a few phone calls. We only met once,around Chapter 16, at a Pizza Hut in Seaford, Md. He traveled up from Virginia and I traveled down from South Jersey. He brought his favorite Colt Peacemaker with him, on featured in his books.

I know he shared with finished effort with a few of the people who post here regularly.

He was a heck of a guy. My own Dad was once a Bac Si too in 'Nam.

I will miss him. He was a talented writer and had a great imagination. A wonderful story teller.
