A great American and even greater friend, comrade and neighbor. Doc, we miss you already, however will cherish our friendship and memories of beautiful wives, fast cars, Texas conservatism and loving family members. Our short 8-years together working on POA “challenges” was bearable only because you and EJ made it so and we could together celebrate the small victories. Don’t fret, we have EJ under our wing and as the Brad Paisley song “Waitin’ on a Woman” goes, when we “get to the other side, cause I don’t mind, the man is always the first to go…Honey, take your time because I don’t mind waitin’ on a woman”. Save a place on the bench for us as well…John & Diane
So very sorry to hear of Docs passing. I worked with Dr. Abbott for many years at Bexar County Adult Probation. My condolences to the family. I know he will be missed by many people.

We have been blessed to call Doc and EJ friends and neighbors the last 8 years. Doc was an early, enthusiastic supporter of all things TVAG and our neighborhood is a better place today because of his efforts and support.
EJ, we mourn with you and your family for your loss. Doc’s memory will always be a gift.
David, you were a lot of fun in high school. You had a laugh after all these years I can still hear in my memory. Glad I got to see you a couple of months ago with Ronnie, Mike and Chip for what was now the last time. Rest in Peace.
Very sorry to hear of David’s passing. I worked with him for several years at Bexar Count Adult Probation Dept. He was a good guy. Very intelligent and well-spoken. My condolences to his family.
