Douglas Sackman Obituary

Douglas Andrew Sackman Sr. of Startup, WA, passed peacefully in his sleep on January 26, 2018 at 1:20 a.m. Our dad was a man of character and integrity. He owned and operated Doug's RV for 35 years. He joined the Army and proudly served his country during the Korean War. He was born to Andrew and Regine Sackman on October 30, 1935. He moved to Startup in 1941 where he lived for the duration of his life. Our dad was a pillar of his community and will be missed by many people including: family, friends, anyone whose life he touched. He is survived by sisters, Verna Skorick and Vera Zabel, brother, Donald Sackman; five sons: Ed (Elizabeth), Bub (Gretchen), Doug Jr. (Lisa), Brian (Laura), and Chris. He also leaves 14 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Bobbie, his parents, and four brothers: Ralph, LaVerne, Myron, and Dallas. A memorial service will be held February 25, 2018 at the Gold Bar Elementary School from 12:00-3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Doug's name to Snohomish County Search and Rescue. He was a longtime supporter and would certainly approve of this gesture.

So sad to see this. I loved this guy. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family, especially Doug Jr. I had some great memories of Doug Sr. and he taught me a lot when I was a Propane rookie back at Petrolane in 1990. He was THE Propane guru !!! I felt honored to have worked with him before his 1st of many "retirements" !!!! I don't think there was a day he never worked.
