Not sure what to say?





On behalf of my father, Lou Kristoff and his girlfriend, Barb Tinka, they would like to extend their sincere condolences. Lou was completely shocked when he heard the news about Doug a couple of days ago, and wanted the family to know that he and Barb are thinking of them. He would like to get in contact with either Tracy or Donald. Please call him at (216) 287-4027. Sincerely, Lois Kristoff-Kichka (Lou's daughter)

We heard the sad news just today. Your family has our deepest condolences. Doug's presence in our neighborhood preceded our move to Ohio, and he made the homes around (and occasionally also) ours beautiful by his attention and care. More than that, "Mr. Doug" was a kind and friendly presence to my husband and myself, and to our children as they grew from babies to young ladies. He never had an unkind word to or about anyone to us, helped us demonstrate kindness and generosity to our children when he cared for a less fortunate neighbor's home, and never failed to ask about the kids, puppy grown to dog on his watch, and extended family with caring and concern. His cheerful, hardworking and larger-than-life weekly presence on our block is keenly missed, and we are so sorry for your deepest loss.

We just don't know what to say. We thought the world of Doug. His work was indeed exemplary, but he was a kind and thoughtful human as well. We often got into long chats about family during his visits to my yard, and he often did more than I asked. May his memory be a blessing and a comfort to his family.

So VERY sorry to find out today about Dougie!! We have known him since he was first working with Ed, and taking care of all the yards on our street. Michael and I always enjoyed chatting with him when he was working on the yard, catching up on the dogs etc... He will be missed greatly :( Condolences to you Tracy (and thank you for the note in the mail today).

Dear Tracy and Cermak family, I have known Doug since he was in high school helping Ed Goga. He was the nicest person, always making sure his clients were satisfied. I had many conversations with him and my whole family loved him , I am so sad he was taken so young. My deepest condolences. Gail Rosewater

I am very sorry for your loss. I went to Trinity with Doug, but have known him much longer than our high school years together. He always had such a warm smile that I won't forget. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
