Dear Barb and Family......
May God bless you and your family during this difficult time in your lives. You and Doug have been a part of our lives and family since I can remember.
There are so many fond memories of Doug, but one of my favorites is when I was a young teen up north camping at Mullett Lake....like our families always did. Dad, Doug and I went out fishing one evening and I caught two huge Walleye. Dad and Doug caught nothing but had such fun watching me reel in...

My condolenses and sympathy goes out to each of you at this sad time.
I, like all Doug’s siblings have special memories that come to mind. The Christmas get togethers that were always special. The fun times that the girls and I had together. And of course always seeing how big the deer was that Doug got each year.
While, in my adult years, time, distance, and circumstance made contact rarer than I would have liked, these memories are always with me,...

Dear Barb, Merry, Peggy, Jerry,
I loved Doug and will miss him very much. He was always both a big brother and a father figure to me. I loved hearing that booming laugh and his fishing and hunting stories. I know he and dad are up there right now playing cards. I wish I could have been there with you. I hope to see you all soon.
Love Curt, Roslyn, Emily, and Caden

Dear Barb--
I am so very sorry to read of your loss. I know that Doug was the love of your life and best friend for over 50 years. I had been with Clark for almost as long when he was suddenly taken away just two months ago, so I have lived with the shock of being totally unprepared for the awful void that so suddenly fills your life.
Your wonderful family and your priceless memories will be your lifeline now. Although my loss is fresh, the help of family and dear friends...

I am so sorry for the loss of Uncle Doug. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. No words can take away the pain but know I am thinking of all of you. I will always remember how You and Un Doug took time away while in Florida to be with my family and me when we lost Tam. That meant more than words can say. Thank you for your kindess! All my love Kammi Jo

He was so proud of Barb, and his kids and grand kids and his great grand child,,he loved his family.
