Before Dr Handy, I didn't know doctors like him- who actually cared- still existed. His bedside manner, warmth, and attention to patients was unmatched and will be greatly missed. I'm grateful for the time I had with him as my doctor, and am thankful to have known him and been impacted by such an amazing man. Dr Handy will truly be missed and I pray God comforts his wife and family through this time.

From day one, Dr Handy's loving and warm presence made me and my daughter feel welcome, seen, and cared for. Though it wasn't easy at first to accept the treatment plan that he'd given for my toddler, which he later joked about saying "you weren't getting on board mama", I knew he only wanted what was best and readily complied. The attention and care he showed to my child, wanting to be sure to correct the vision issues that he caught, made me decide to make him my eye doctor as well. Dr Handy was a true jewel that will be lovingly missed. My prayers are with his beautiful wife and family. ❤️

My condolences to Martha and the family. I knew Dewey when he was in Optometry school at UAB. My sister invited me to attend their Friday dinners. He helped my husband Stan set up the prayer arch at our wedding 35 years ago and Martha sang for the wedding ceremony. Dewey was a kindhearted man who will be remembered for his smile and gentle laugh. My prayer is for comfort for Martha and the family. He is with the angels in heaven now.

May God continue to provide peace and strength to the family. Sheila Gibson (Miss Gibson) Barr/ Boyd Elementary School.
