I was fortunate to be a class mate with J. D. at Hendrix and Med School. We were in the same class. Just think of all the people he has helped over the years. He was an outstanding example of what a family doctor should be.

My wife and I send our condolences to the family.

What can you possibly say when such an exceptional man leaves this life for one in the bosom of Jesus. I praise God that I had the privilege of knowing him as my family's doctor. He is witty, kind and caring. I pray that Jesus send comfort to Mrs. Nancy, Josh and the rest of the family. I know that he will be missed here on earth while they wait to see him again.

Mrs .Nancy and boys and family , My deepest sympathy for your loss . He was a great man .. he touched many lives . I remember him getting up from his Christmas Day dinner to come to the clinic and treat me for Scarlet Fever .. he was the epitome of the small town doctor who truly believed in the calling of healing . HE was a great member of society who everyone should look up to . All my love and prayers go out to you . God Bless you all.
