    My husband, Floyd and I are so sad to learn of "Doc" having passed away. He was a 1st class neighbor and would always come visit when we would be out in the yard working. He and his wife kept a very classy home and yard and we were sad when they moved away just a couple years ago. Our thoughts go out to his wife, daughters and extended family-Lisa Wilkins 608 Canyon Road, Henderson, Nevada 89002
