It has been 10 years since my original entry into Doug's memory book and suring this time my wife Rose Ann passed away. It has been a lonely 10 years. It is nice to see Dougs name and be able to once again make note that I miss him and the good old days.

May God bless you and your family at this time of remembrance for your loss of Doug. I want you to know that Doug was that type of person that the people who worked with him will always remember his humor and easy going ways that he possessed.

My name is Jerry Sauer. I was a good Doug and his brother Donny. We all were part of a group of guys that hung out at the corner of 31st and Scott St. Most of us owned old cars in various states of repair. I am the last living member of that group. Doug was always a gentlemen and stood out from the group because of it.

I will never forget the night Doug and I attended a Packer game at the old brewer stadium with other coworkers from Pieper and we missed our group bus and we decided to walk back to your house in the rain so Doug could drive me back to get my car at the restaurant where we got on the chartered bus. I always enjoyed his good sense of humor besides his friendship and nothing ever seemed to stir him. I sympathize with you for Doug's unexpected passing after a 51 year marriage.

My Prayers to Jeannette and her family during this very difficult time. Your Dad was awesome and will be missed terribly

The terrible thing about death is the effect it has on friends and love ones. With this in mind we ask our Heavenly Father to take care of Suzi and the family.

I remember Doug when we were younger as I am his cousin and we spent holiday with our Grandmother. I was sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers are with Susie and all the kids at this difficult time.

December 24, 2013

Doug was closest in age to my brother Chuck ( in Florida for winter). Brother don was closest in age to my older brother Jim...both are deceased. Nancy and I are similar age. So I took great delight in visiting the Heder home when we were all younger kids. We cousins were close friends.

Susie, Nancy and families.......I am sorry to get this news. It is a really difficult time for all of you. Please accept my condolences; I am unable to attend the services. My regrets, Marolyn (Moffatt) Kutz
