Doc had a tremendous work ethic which he passed on to new employees under his supervision. He will be remembered for his sense of humor and friendship by all of us at Ditek.
We will miss Doc, Joanne and I are so grateful he could join us as our “Celebrity Judge” so all of us could see him one last time.

My condolences to Sharon and Doc’s family. Doc always had a tale or two to share, a great laugh, and a sharp intellect. I have very fond memories Doc from the SCA, gaming, and just hanging out.

There is so much to say yet sometimes there is no words to say it. You’ll be missed Doc by all. I’ve known you for a long time in my life and you’ve have taught me much. I thank you for this and I wish I could have told you thank you. You were a wonderful person even with the bad you had at times. You were independent to the end doing what you loved. Iâ??m so happy to have known you for as long as I have. Doc you even given my second real job and it was one I enjoyed doing for I got to talk to both you and Sharon. You shall be missed and I know you are waiting for us on the other side. Even though you are not here on Earth anymore with us you shall be in spirit. Rest in peace and may we met again one day.
Doc was a very knowledgeable and thoughtful fellow. He always had time for anyone who had a question about work or things he was interested in. I regret that I never did get any of his handmade chain-mail jewlery which was very nice. We talked about his masonic lodge and the art of Fencing which he was passionate about. I know he struggled with his health condition for many years, but I never heard him complain. Without a doubt, his friends and family can take comfort in knowing that he is definitely in a better place now and that we will see him again. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who was touched by Doc.
You were “Salt of the Earth ” guy Mike. Prayers and heartfelt condolences to your family. God Bless.
