Not sure what to say?

Doug was a fabulous guy and a fellow DKE at Dartmouth. Married Joyce, his "best girl," and had a wonderful life together. I'll never forget the mad rush we had driving our Winter Carnival dates from Hanover, NH, to catch up with the train in Greenfield, MA. (We missed the train's departure from White River Junction, VT.) Certain memories live forever. I am happy to have attended Doug's service. Rest in peace, old friend. Cack

Joyce and family, our hearts continue to be with you. You have lost a husband, father, and grandfather. We have a lost a dear friend and wonderful dinner companion. We remain yours in friendship.
