He was a beloved member of the community and will be greatly missed by many.

He was predeceased by his father, Lawrence and mother, Edith.  

Doc’s request was to be cremated and his remains to be scattered at the homestead in Cut Bank where he spent his childhood years.  

A memorial and celebration of life will be held at 5 p.m. on May 28 at the VFW, 7950 Montana 35 in Bigfork.
