For Those that may not know Dr Creep has always given of himself for causes such as Muscular Dystrophy and others. He has made hundreds of free appearances to help raise money. I would ask everyone to help him out in his time of need. He has well earned the support.

Dr. Creep was at the Fairborn Halloween Parade this year. Our granddaughter who is 4 had no ideal who he was but he was shaking hands with all the kids and gave them something. She was excited to see him, especially with grandpa & grandma growing up watching Dr Creep. We thought it was great he was there and now to find out he has been so sick but still showed up, he is a good person. I remember he lived over by my cousin in Dayton when we were kids we loved to walk by his house hoping to see him, we probably would have ran screaming then ;0) Will have you in our prayers Dr Creep and thank for all the wonderful years you have given all of us and now our grandkids!

I remember working on the Jerry Lewis Telethon every year as a kid, and it was always a treat when “Dr. Creep” stopped by with his camera crew to encourage and thank all of us volunteers. God bless him—I wish him well.
