Doug Nilson's son, Ron, has been a dear friend of mine since high school which is when I had the distinct pleasure of meeting both Doug and Barbara. They took all of us kids into their home and their hearts and treated us like we were their own. I have many fond memories of Doug's sense of humor and warm personality and share in the sorrow his wife, sons, daughter and grandchildren are feeling over this great loss.
