Doc was a very strong man, his ability to keep helping the folks here while battling cancer showed that. The amount of willpower he must have had was tremendous. He fought with it for 15 years. I knew some of the details that he shared with me, , he wasn't trying to hide the fact that he had cancer, he never wanted to talk of it on the board because he felt the board should be a happy place.

Where ever Doc posted, it was a happy place.

His sense of humor, his selfless attitude and focus on others problems are what made him so well liked. He was freekin smart as well. :thumbup:

They say a man never dies who is remembered by his friends.

I'll remember him.

Later, mikey

A docvette thank you post I didn't see that Jon already put that one up. :embarrass

One thread where he helped me regain domestic harmony

And if you got on Doc's bad side, you were in trouble too...He made me laugh like hell when he opened up a can of Doc style whupass on this thread....

 

That is unfortunate. I always enjoyed reading his posts. They were informative and usually very candid.

 

I'm relatively new here but have read and COPIED many of Doc's posts for reference. Shared the funny one's with my wife. I used to think I had a pretty good grasp of electrical knowledge, being an ex-aircraft mechanic and electrician. This man's knowledge was [B]amazing [/B].

He left us with much of that SHARED knowledge which will be referred to for many years to come I'm sure.

Incredible guy I wish I had known personally. Definitely missed.

 

Doc is going to be very much missed here, and in many other places, a very much respected man.

JK.

 

Wow! I don't remember him saying he was Sick. I know I did not see a post in sometime just though he was working on a project this summer. But if its you time to go summer is the best time to pass to me. Green tree's the smell of cut grass and flower on the breeze, setting out side enjoying the nice weather and working on the old project just does not get much better than that.

My heart goes out to the family member for you lose.

Wow that sucks. Doc helped me several times with electrical problems I was having.Smart guy and you allways knew you could trust his advice.
I'm very sorry to here this.

 

His wealth of knowledge really helped me out many times. He posted back to a few of my threads and even promptly answered quite a few private messages. I never knew what he was going through and now knowing makes it more special that he took out of his time to do what he did FOR ME!! (somebody he doesn't even know). I will miss that, and always remember who helped me rig up an alternator and safety switches. It was the Doc. imp:

 

He will be missed by me, for certain
A sense of humor that not many have, with electrical knowledge reserved for the Gods.
He was ill when I posted about my father's death, and apologized for not posting in that thread, both by PM, and later while working on another's issue.

I have noticed he had not been posting regularly, and was somewhat cooncerned about his welfare.
Since I have been here, there have only been a couple of times that he had not posted daily.

He would even post from a hospital bed occaisionally.
Rest In Peace "Doc" imp:
We will all miss you.

Doc was everybodys friend.....He could explain complex circuitry in a simple to understand way. He could always come up with a wireing diagram for whatever you were working on. I always read all of his posts and learned a lot about automotive electrical from doing so. I have also seen Doc do a pretty good job of arse chewing when someone needed it.......you have to really be good at it to have people thank you for it, Lol. I have seen him eloquently resolve many automotive problems as well as personal conflicts etc. on this site. He was amazing! He was...DocVette... and I am glad that I can call him friend. Rest in peace brother you are missed.

 

Here's to ya Doc, keep chasin that line down the highway of forever!

 

Doc was one of my favorite guys to read.

It was only about three weeks ago that he was having so much fun bashing Lucas electrical components.

It's highly commendable that he managed to retain his keen wit despite failing health.

We're going to miss him imp:

 

I never made a thread or post needing his help, but just about everytime I did a search, a thread would come up where he chimed in with great, on target advice. The man gave VERY detailed explanations and advice. He posted a wiring diagram that I saved for when I get to where I need it.

I'll miss him. He's one of those people that enters your life through the internet and you can honestly say you'd really love to have had the pleasure of meeting him in person.

A rare person indeed. God must have had a short in something.

 

I loved reading Doc's stuff, he was truly a wiring wizard imp:
I know like many of you Doc seemed like a long time friend. He will be missed by many & those who have yet to come into this site will still be amazed by the info this man has gather & shared over the 3 short years he was here.

My thoughts & prayers goes out to his family & friends.
The man upstairs got himself one heck of a wiring guy & I'm sure he's looking down on all of us smiling from ear to ear knowing that we all considered him a great friend..

Here's to you Doc :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: thanks for being here when we needed you....joe

 

Any time I followed an electrical thread that needed additional information or clarification, I'd anxiously await "Doc here imp: ". His advice was always sound and a great help to many including myself. The board will be a lesser place without him. My prayers go out his family and loved ones. mudlust.

 

Still hard to believe as he was still posting lately.


Who's going to replace this .. imp: ......... no one can

 

Wow.I remember I was having a hell of a fit with an electrical problem on my Bu when I first joined.He communicated thru a few PM's with me and I got it figured out with alot of help from him.He will be missed. imp:

 

I admire doc's knowledge and the way he helped out and the clear terms he used that made it easy for the layman to understand. A true teacher.

I'll miss his quirkiness too. His posts often made me laugh.

So long doc... gonna miss ya.

imp:

 

Wow, I can't believe it. Doc was a major poster at HR.com. If you ever went to the electrical section, there was a post by Doc helping someone out. His presence will be sorely missed.

 

That's a shame, we'll miss him. Hammer down and Godspeed Doc! imp:

 

Oh man. I had no clue he was even sick. I can't even begin to count the posts of his that I have read. I have no clue how he could explain complex electrical circuits to somone like me. I had a horrible time with basic AC and DC circuits in college.

He will be missed.

 

Doc helped me on a few things, I learned a lot of electrical info from reading his posts. He will be missed.

 

Sorry to hear about docvette. I didn't know he was sick. Every post of his was very informative as he shared his vast knowledge of electricity. The subject of electricity is often intimidating but he made it sound simple helping guys figure out wiring problems. He will be missed. My condolences to the family.

 

Doc will truly be missed. imp:

 

A encyclopedia of knowledge that will be dearly missed and an apparent fine person.
RIP Docvette imp:

 

imp: You will be missed Doc imp:
