He had been a patient at Cary Health and Rehabilitation Center since December of 1996. He was born in Willow Spring, North Carolina on Jan. 5, 1926, the sixth of seven children. He was descended from a family that settled Wake County in the 17th Century. His parents were the late John Bailey and Helen Wiggins Dove.
He served with honor in the United States Marine Corps, Fifth Division, during World War II. Mr. Dove saw military action in the Pacific Theatre of Operations, including engagements in the Philippines and Iwo Jima. He was an original member of the Paramarine Unit, active during World War II and was stationed in California, Hawaii, New Zealand and finally, in Tsing Tao, China. He was known throughout his life as a distinguished veteran of his beloved Corps.
After return from military service, he joined his father's business which included a lumber concern and tobacco. Mr. Dove also began what became a 48 year career in the automobile business, involved in dealerships in the Wake and Harnett county areas. (He is perhaps best known for his 15 year affiliation with Rawls Lincoln Mercury on Fayetteville Street in Raleigh.)
Mr. Dove was a prominent tobacco grower for more than 30 years. During that time, he was among the founders of the Wake County Tobacco Cooperative, one of the largest of its type in existence at its inception, and served as Chairman of the Board for many years. He was an ardent supporter of the Agriculture programs of North Carolina State University and received the Extension Service Award from that institution in 1974, honoring his service and expertise in tobacco research. He has been featured in numerous articles in Progressive Farmer, Tobacco Grower and other regional and national publications.
Mr. Dove was very active in his community. He was a Charter Member of the Exchange Club of Fuquay-Varina, a past member of the Jaycees, the American Legion Post 116, the Masonic Lodge, and the Wake County Democratic Party. He taught Sunday School for 28 years at the Chalybeate Springs Baptist Church, carrying ministry to area nursing homes and was a founder of the Josephine and Paul Bradley Scholarship Fund at Campbell University. He was a past member of the Parents Association of Meredith College.
Mr. Dove was respected and honored by his peers and clients. His greatest joy was found in his work for those in need, giving little attention to notoriety for his actions. He was a devoted husband, father, uncle, mentor and friend.
