Doc received his M.D. at Ankara University in 1956. Becoming an American citizen, he spent time living in Florida, Texas, Maryland, and South Carolina. He enjoyed the beach, boating, skiing, soccer, woodworking, helping others, a good laugh, and, above all, spending as much time as possible with his family. He was a loving, faithful, dedicated, generous family man, and he will be greatly missed.
