I heard that my dentist, Dr Gil Plott, died,
evidently several months ago. Can anyone tell me more about what happened to him? Thanks.

i did not find his name in the TD 'obits search'
If you Google his name, it does mention that he has died, but no other details.
I remembered his death because I believe my father worked with his uncle several years ago at TVA. I searched and found his death listed as Saturday, June 16. To read the entire obit, one must pay 3.00.
I believe I read at the time that he had an accident at home and died surrounded by his family, but I may have him confused with someone else. Hope this helps.

Yes, he did die. My aunt was married to him at one time. Not sure what he died from
Gosh, where was this Dentist located??? I think I may have used him a few times after Dr. Waddell retired.
At first he was in the old Western Truckstop building on Hwy 72 Tuscumbia and from there I am not sure where he went
I believe he was on Wood Avenue. My Daddy went to him and got really good treatment. He lived a couple of streets over from me when he died. He also was married to a girl that I graduated from High school with. I haven't asked her what happened to him though.

Why do you have to pay to read the obit? That doesn't seem fair.
Just go to the library at UNA or one of the local ones and look it up on their old papers or microfilm...
Nevermind FV -- just another way the TD does not serve it customer base -- it milks it -- they allow Legacy.com to charge you 2.95 just to read an obit that is in an archive. You used to be able to search it on the TD ... very "classy" note the sarcasm...
That's true. I'll bet NW/Shoals has back issues also. I used to read the TD at Calhoun when I lived in Athens.
As for paying, it's actually 2.95, and, yes, I think that's very unfair. It's not like people looking for obits are enjoying it.

Wait -- I did a search of the TD site and it still has it on it --- I'm pasting it below...
