Words cannot express how sad we all are over the loss of your beloved husband, Doug. May you hold onto your faith, all the wonderful memories that you shared together and in the love of family and friends as you go through this difficult time.
He was great guy, a fun racquetball partner who had a good sense of humor and a distinctive laugh. The club won't be the same without him.
