Doc was a Patriot and possessed a great love for his country. He was so proud of standing for the American flag.

He loved to entertain his family, friends, and neighbors with cookouts at his home. Doc celebrated fireworks on July 4th, Halloween parties, hayrides for the children, and Christmas and New Year parties. He was always the ultimate and attentive host. A gifted story-teller, Doc had an affinity, love, and charisma for the stage. He acted in numerous plays at the Rose Theatre. His most memorable performances were MacBeth Did It, The Foreigner, and Murder Me Always. He has passed this love of theatre to some of his grandchildren as they have also performed on stage.
Doc also loved birdwatching and gardening his flowers. He especially enjoyed cutting the flowers to make a bouquet for Patsy. Most importantly, Doc held a deep and abiding Christian faith and was a member of the Church of Christ. He read his Bible daily, which he kept next to his chair, and possessed great knowledge of the scriptures. He enjoyed listening to Elvis sing gospel music and when unable to attend church in person he would listen to church services on the television.
