Delmer “Doc” France, 62, of Toledo, Oh., passed away November 13, 2024. He was born November 16, 1961 to Elmer and Beckie (Damron) France and grew up in Clintwood. 
Doc worked many jobs but enjoyed driving trucks the most, traveling all over the country for many years. He drove company trucks and owned his own. He loved to go to the casinos, watch movies and TV shows, collect fine bourbons and whiskeys and rarely missed watching the Pittsburgh Steelers play. He enjoyed watching wrestling with his step-grandson, Dale.
