Mrs. Simms, Herbert and the entire Simms family. Sadly, I just learned of Doc’s passing today. Doc and I worked together at SC Commission for the Blind and I always enjoyed his company. He was such a real person with kind words for everyone he met. He was always willing to help in any way that he could. R.I.P
