Our family will miss our beloved father, father-in-law, and grandfather. He was a teacher to everyone he came in contact with, whether it be through his school teaching, church service, or head of the Doane family. We are saddened at his passing, but rejoice that he will now be able to progress once again in Heaven after his long illness these past few years here on earth. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
