Words cannot desribe how we feel about Doug's passing. He was a great friend to Mike for many years and I met him when Mike asked him to be a member of our wedding party. We will always have the pictures and video to keep our memories alive. God be with you, Molly and Matt as you continue with your daily lives. Doug is watching over you and will keep you safe until you all can be together again. God Bless!

Dear Don, Donna, Rick, and Liz
Life flies past a lot quicker than we want or realize. Back when we were neighbors in ‘flood city’, none of us would have ever thought that any of us would be contacting each other because of the death of one of our kids. You guys have been in our thoughts many times through the years and I’m sorry for not taking the extra effort to keep in touch. You guys must have kept on being a good family to have made Doug the guy he turned out to be. The entries in his memorial book are sure a testimony to that. Don, as his father, you had to be proud of him!! I’m glad we had the opportunity to be neighbors with you and all the kids, at least for the few years we were able to share. You guys all need to take some special time now and share your love and support with each other. Make sure you include Doug’s wife and children. They need to know just how special a family they are part of. You all are in our thoughts and prayers!

Dear Cindy and family,
You’ve never had the opportunity to meet us, but we were neighbors with Doug in Palmyra when he was a youngster. We just found out today (Apr 30) of Doug’s passing and I felt we needed to let you know that we feel your sorrow and pain, but God can help us through it. I read through the writings in his memorial book and just from what the people wrote, I can say I am proud that I knew him back then. He must have grown up to be a very special husband, dad, coach, and person to be around. Our hearts go out to you during this time and you will be in our prayers.

Cindy, Molly & Matt,
We were so saddened to hear about Doug. It's been quite a few years since he coached Erika on the Stray Cats, but we remember what a great coach and inspiration he was to all the girls. May God surround you with his love at this difficult time and may you find comfort in your many loving memories of him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Pete, Barb, Erika & Ty Vanderstappen

Aunt Cindy, Molly & Matt
My heart goes out to each of you. My uncle was a great man (Superman) to me & will never be forgotten. I'm so sorry for each of you. I know how much fun he was to be around. I can remember back when I was a kid and uncle Doug would pick me up to stay the weekend with him. They where the best times for me as a kid. Like the week I got to spend with him in Ohio & camping. And the time me him Larry & Grandpa took the camper to man I don't even remember where we dropped that thing off I just know that we took it to the wrong state. But guess what we had fun. What ever we did together we had a blast. He was like the dad I never had. I know I could call him up and ask him for anything and he would be there to help. I don't know exactly how you all are feeling but I got a pretty good Idea. I know one thing for sure and that is he is looking down on all of us and will still be there in our hearts to help us when we need it. That's the kinda person he was. I just hope that I can be the wonderful uncle, father, dad, & son that he was. He was a great rolemodel for me. I just wish that Dallas & Larissa had more time with him to see what a great person he really was. Man did he love kids and he loved the three of you. There is not a second in the day that I don't think about him. I miss him TERRIBLE. We Love you guys & we're here for you and we're looking forward to camping this summer. He'll be there also sitting in his chair by the fire with that smile on his face. We love you guys. Love, Doug, Lisa, Dallas & Larrisa

Dear Cindy, Matt and Molly,
We are so saddened by your loss. Doug was a wonderful person and an excellent lacrosse coach. We wish we had more time to get to know him. Jason was touched by his generosity and his warm personality when they were discussing lacrosse techniques, the game itself, and just life and stuff. You are in our prayers.
