Doug would loved to have seen his beloved Michigan football team earn their No. 1 ranking. I´ll always remember him as their No. 1 fan! Go Blue, Doug!

Janet and Katie, I remember fondly our time at family camp with the Flushing Presbyterian Church. My husband and my daughter Julia shared a cabin with you so sorry to read about Doug. He was a wonderful man.

Mr. Brautigam was my cross country coach at Grand Blanc high School and he was an amazing and funny man. One of my memories I have is being in his neighborhood and him having his daughter in a bike seat while we ran practice and he rode his bike. My condolences go to his family and friends.
