John,
Today marks the first year of your departure. We have thought about you often, and shared quite a few humorous stories about our lives/family.
You would haved loved to have met your new grandson, TJ. He is a happy, healthy and very busy little fellow! You would smile if you saw his big, bright eyes!!
I will always remember our last four days together and how meaningful they were for us.
You will never be forgotten!!!!!!
Your wife,
Renee Collins

Dear Douglas family,
I worked with John when I was a grad student and employed at Home Depot (way back when there were 24 hour stores) in North Richland Hills. I was very pleased when I saw him a few years ago at the Depot near my house on the East side. He discussed his cancer and was very upbeat as usual. John was always a nice and very decent man. I appreciated his management style and overall intellect about people. He taught us much about working with the public and with others. Good people like John are missed but not forgotten. Again, my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Dear Dad/Poppy...This is our first Thanksgiving with out you. You are here with us in spirt. We miss you, gone but never forgotten.

From a high school rival to a college (T.S.U.) room mate and team mate, I really grew to know " Blue" as a true friend. A great person and athlete, but even a better friend. Ms. Douglas (mother) and Mrs. Douglas (wife), the children and the entire family, continue to look to the hills, God will take care of you.

Please allow me to extend my personal and heartfelt condolences to the Douglas family! As a 1964 graduate of Como High School and band member, I remember his high school athlete accomplishments. He was truly something special and I know he will be missed terribly. God's grace and comfort to all that knew and loved him. Celebrate his memory like he led his life...with great notice and appreciation.

Wow, probably the greatest athlete to ever come thru Como High...and played for the New York Giants...my brother Lloyd was on that state championship team with him. Blue will NEVER be forgotten...not by me......MAN, QB, point guard, track/hurdles, tennis, but better than that, a superior human being
