The Gerhards and the Dolehides....so many great memories at the Dolehide house. Backyard bbqs, swimming, Christmas Eve celebrations, 4th of July fireworks. But most important is the great friendship between my dad and Dr. Dolehide. Lifelong friendships like theirs are rare and they are now enjoying each others company again. Rest In Peace Dr. Dolehide. Condolences to the entire Dolehide family.

So many of my childhood memories include Dr. Dolehide and spending time at the Dolehide house. He was a wonderful man and to this day I remember him telling us funny stories and trying to enlist us to sort the rocks in the landscaping! I wish I could be there to pay respects, my condolences to the whole family, I am thinking of all of you at this time. May he rest in peace.

Prayerful. Pleasant. Noble. Humble. A true gentleman and the finest example to follow. His real and ever present, "how are you?"...he always put others first. By way of Kathy, Dr. Dolehide welcomed us into his big and beautiful family. May you all feel the peace and warm embrace of Jesus at this time and always. Ahoy, Sir. Godspeed.
