Doug Gruden

I am so very sorry for all of you. Your loss is too great. Doug was such a fine boy and I know from knowing his family that he would be a great man. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you Bevy.

We miss Doug more every time we talk to you and read these sweet comments from so many who knew him 'daily'. What a genuine person Doug was, and what a devoted, thankful spouse God gave him, in you, Belva. We're just 'blessed' to have crossed paths with you two!
We love you much,

Dear Belva,
What a wonderful man you had for a husband! I admired Dougie. He seemed to have such a great love for you, Belva. When the men at work would start dogging marriage, Doug would be the only one taking up for marriage saying he didnt know what they were talking about. I believe he was truly a happily married man and he knew how lucky he was to have you for his wife.
I will never forget Dougie. He had such a soothing voice, I thought. He was always trying to teach us to be...

Belva, I see from the write up that Doug was a marvelous man I'm sure he will be missed by many. I am really sorry I didn't have an opportunity to get to know him.

Take very good care of yourself just as Doug would want you to do!

Much love,
Suellen

Doug was one of the most decent guys I ever worked with. And one of the funniest. He would have everyone in tears on headsets at LSP. I'm going to miss him. Working at Lone Star will definitely not be the same without the Gruden experience. God bless him and Belva, too.

DOOG! I loved working with Doug. over the years I worked at LSP, Doug and I had some great discussions both meaningless and philosophical. Poker night at Doug and Belva's was great fun and something I looked forward to. I'm gonna miss ya, Doog.

My Dear Sweet Cousin, Belva, We will be seeing you tomorrow. JW & I share deeply in your great sorrow.It was an honor to have Doug as part of our family and you both have been an inspirations to us all.

Doug was my best friend many years ago at WKU. He was a generous, funny, and graceful man, and taught me a lot about seeing the humorous side of the darkest situation. Yo, Dug -- in spite of the time and distance, you will always be a part of me.
