Hey Doug, Hope all is well up there with You, Mom and Dad. I have been following your kids on Facebook and they are doing well. But you know this I'm sure. Retirement is good. Has relieved me of a bunch of stress, but cost of living is still a major issue. Dale is hanging in there fighting the C battle. Dan had a C scare, but seems to be good now. All other family members are doing good. Love, Dave

Hi Doug, Been and eventful year since our last conversation. I retired sooner than I thought. Pulled the plug the end of July 2023. Had cataract surgery and my right eye has improved to where I don't need glasses, at least for now :). Kathy is doing well. she is not liking work and want to retire, but we cant' go there yet. Dale was diagnosed with kidney cancer and had part of his spine rebuilt. He is walking again and undergoing immunotherapy for the cancer. Improving tremendously over...

HI Doug, Seems like time is just flying by. We are pretty much settles in in our home in Florence. I plan on fully retiring the end of this year. Not sure how I will handle not working, but worth a shot. You should be very proud of your kids and grandkids. Ashley has grown and matured in many ways. Kyle has done very well himself. Miss you brother D Love Dave

Well brother D, another year has passed and not much has changed in my life. Still working, but have a paln that by the end of next year, I will pull the plug and join the ranks for the unemployed. Your kids have had some major accomplishments. Ashely has started a very successful business and is a tremendous mom. Grand kids are going great. Kyle has been a lineman for some time. He is really seeming to enjoy it, and he has really contributed to keep people with power through some rough...

Hi Doug,
To keep you updated, Kathy and I have moved to Florence, Az. We are very close to the place we used to go dove hunting in Maricopa. I tried to retire, but still working. I guess some things never end. I am sure you are aware of the pandemic, but all our families have been safe. I am sure you know, but you should be very proud of Kyle and Ashley. Both of them have become very successful in both their family and work arenas. You are a great Dad, and they love you dearly. ...

Doug, Just checking in and letting you know another Veteran's Day has gone by. Veterans are slowly getting recognized for serving to their country. I don't think the majority will ever understand the sacrifices we all have made in serving our country. Always thinking of you, but even more during Veteran's Day. Thank you for your service Doug Love, Your brother Dave

Stacie and the Family,
I've been to this site reading entries for almost 10 yrs now.
Me and Doug were really good friends in high school. I never had a friend that we had so much in common with. We even shared the exact birthday. He's the most talented guy I knew.
We spent many hours working in his baja VW (Stacie can relate).
I think me and Mark Laplante were there when you guys met even.
Doug called me one day and said we need to meet for lunch. Arby's was where...

Hi Brother Dough. A friend of mine named Doug, was called Dough today, and made me smile about when we used to call you brother Dough. I hope things are treating you fine. Just wanted you to know how proud you should be with your kids. They have really grown up and are proud of their Dad. But of course you knew that. things are good with me. Planning on retiring this summer. Take care of yourself Doug.

Love, Brother Dave

Happy Birthday little brother. I have been following my nephews on Facebook here lately. Kind of nice to see how well they have been doing. Your a good father, and a good man.
Love you brother Doug
