"In Loving Memory" 
Franklin Dennis Boring
("Doc Holliday")
2-4-1944 - 10-16-2001
Dennis Boring was a special person. Having lived with us for years before he was married, he was more like a brother to me than an uncle. This page hasn't been easy to do because there is so much I'd like to say about him.
Denny passed away Tuesday morning, Oct. 16, 2001, in Kingwood Medical Center in Texas, following a heart attack the night before. He had heart disease and diabetes for many years but he always had a positive outlook on life. He lived his life one day at a time, knowing that with with his condition it could be his last.
Denny was known by many on ICQ, MSN and other chat programs as "Doc Holliday". The "Holliday" was soon dropped and he was known only as "Doc". He was also known as Daddy Night on Yahoo and Texas Tarheel on MSN the last few months. He had other nicknames but forgot what else he has been known by.
Having been into computers for over 20 years, he had talked to a lot of people on the internet. Many that were still talking to him, have known him for many years. Everyone thought the world of "Doc" and he was a friend to everyone. He worried less about himself and more about his friends-- some who have health problems too. Doc worried about his friends if they hadn't been on and he hadn't heard from them in awhile. But that was the way Doc was.
Doc will be missed by not only his family but by the many friends he had. He was always joking with people where ever he went. Doc had let his beard grow and he loved it when kids would stop him in a store and ask him if he was Santa Claus.
Doc's name is still on my ICQ, MSN and email lists. I can't take him off right now. Its just too much like letting him go and I'm not ready to do that. I will miss him not being here on the screen talking to me on ICQ and MSN. He built my first computer for me and for years after that we talked every night. But for the past few months his leg had been bothering him and he hadn't been on much at night, so we didn't get to talk as often and I missed it. I still look for him online and know he won't be sending messages any more. I will also miss his visiting us in NC and sitting on the porch with him at night talking. He loved to sit on the porch when it was storming and watch the lightening.
I know there are people who knew Doc on the internet, who haven't heard that he is no longer with us. I did this page in memory of him and I am adding a guestbook just for it. I hope all his friends will take time to sign his guestbook and tell him whatever you would like to. This will remain on here as long as I have the site, so any time you get to missing Doc or any time you wish he were there to talk to and any other time you just get to missing him, just get on here and put your feelings down. Please pass this page around to anyone and everyone you know. Maybe it will get to others he talked to that might not know that he is no longer with us.
As long we have our memories, "Doc" he will always be with us. If we let the memories die then he will be gone.
Remember: The guestbook on this page is for Doc. Please feel free to put your thoughts and favorite memories of him in it. Visit as often and write in his guesbook as often as you wish. Please--just keep it clean. Thanks for visiting and helping make this memorial page something he would be proud of.
