Thank you for all the memories and good times we had. I especially want to thank you for coming out and supporting my wedding with Wanda. I hope you two are having a great time together.

I was honored to meet Uncle Doug, a man whom Benjamin Witz, the son of his brother Dennis, spoke of often. Doug's aura spread throughout his family - one of warmth, one filled with love, lots of jokes, and such positiveness even when there seemed to be so much negativity. I appreciated how much encouragement he gave Ben to continue in his own fight with life. I am looking forward to being with Ben's family in the future and I know Doug's presence will be there forever, in our hearts, minds, and actions, as he brought up a beautiful family, treasuring them very close at heart and doing the best any man of God could do by their family. May you all have have happy and pleasant memories of Doug to surround the sadness of his passing.
