"Dock was such a likeable person -- very gregarious, very outgoing. I would set up personal appearances for him, and after like 30 seconds, people were like relatives or neighbors. Dock was very easy to talk to. He was just a pleasure to be around."

I met Dock Ellis back in the early 1970s (I was in my late teens, he was in his mid-20s) and had a good conversation with him. He was a friendly, gregarious guy--I have to agree. A bit of an odd duck, had the reputation for being a wild guy, but he did have a certain likeability and charisma.
