Doc wasn’t just an extraordinary doctor; he was an extraordinary human. I will miss him, but I’ll carry his kindness, humor, and love with me always. It's beautiful to see others who knew him posting on social media about this legend of a man.
I was in the same homeroom at Central High School (Coach Pennington) as Gene and his sister Mary Grace, as well as in some classes over the years. He was of course, super-smart.
Sending love and prayers
"Doc" as we lovingly called him was such a good man to myself and my family. My mom (Wilma Tate) thought the world of him. There wasn't anything he would not do for us if we were in need. The community has lost such a good friend, doctor, dad, granddad, uncle, etc I will be keeping the family lifted in prayer. Doc will forever be in my heart! Gone but never forgotten and always loved! !
