These photos were taken on a beautiful day in May 2018! We didn't know at the time it would be the last time we got to spend time with Doug, but it was a wonderful weekend. His laugh, sense of humor, and cooking is indeed what we'll miss most. Love you forever Doug! Karen & Bill

Doug was so much like a father and grandpa for my kids. His booming laugh and sense of humor made holidays the best. Going to really miss his misuse of the English language. Doug was such a hoot!!

I grew up with Doug. In Dane we played sandlot football and baseball all summer, then hockey and ice skating all winter. Doug was always the fastest runner & skater. The only chance to catch him was to do so before he got into the open. He later displayed that speed to make his mark as an outstanding running back for Lodi High School football. Doug was always a good kid. Sad to hear of his passing. Bill Hyslop
