Mary and Girls, We were sad to hear of Doug's passing and know that you will miss him dearly. May God bless you all and hold you close as you treasure your precious memories. Your old Manor neighbors, Tom and Martha

Our Condolences to Mary and family. Doug & I spent many years salmon fishing on the big lake in the 80s & 90s. I bet we went out fishing together more than 200 times. He loved to get out on the lake & fish! I don´t think he ever turned down a chance to go. Great times! RIP Doog Bob Chase

So so sorry to hear about Doug´s passing Mary. Whenever we visited Elsa and were down at the beach, Doug was so friendly and such a nice guy. We are truly sorry for your loss.

We have so many fond memories of Doug and will miss him greatly. One earliest memory is taking him fishing for cutthroat trout while they were on honeymoon- Doug and Mary came to to Colorado! Our heartfelt condolences and prayers to all of his family. Jim and MaryEllen Dexter

Dear Mary and family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. God bless
