If you are reading this I have walked my last bridge, the bridge to eternity. Read Owen Doak went to join his father Charles Everett Doak in heaven on October 4, 2013 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital, with his loving wife and best friend of 31 years Flora A. Hunter holding his hand. Read was employed with the Dept. of Transportation (Bridge Branch) for 25 years.
