I am quite saddened about the passing of Doug. Doug and I were in many classes at Hendricken High school. At any time on a given day we would be horsing around and laughing it up at school. He had a great sense of humor.

To young to soon. Friends come a dime a dozen but good friends are hard to find. He was a good friend, that I will miss very much. Our times at the Elk club is all I have to remember him by, but they are all good. He served as an officer to the Elks the same time I did and made my job easier for me. My prayers and thoughts are with his family during this hard time. May you find comfort in knowing his friends are thinking of all of you. God bless
