Patti and Family,
So sorry to hear of Doug’s passing. Doug was my neighborhood buddy all the way through C.L.H.S. I remember the tree house we built together – I hit in the head with a 2x4 and he still laughed. In the summers we would set off firecrackers on Sands road – No one knew it was us. In H.S. we took turns driving to school. I remember one icy winter morning Doug drove his Buick Skylark GS, we slide into a telephone and smashed his car – boys sure know how to have fun.
Robert Daniel Schleicher misses Doug. I will remember his spirit and pray for his soul. Peace Friend!

Dear Patti and family:
I am very saddened by the news of Doug's passing. Doug and I spent many years between the ages of 14 into his early 20's ... in school, fishing, hanging about town and driving fast cars. We had many many great times together - and I have lots of good memories. I loved Doug's energy! I will miss him. I am sorry for your loss, Patti.
