Douglas A. Dodge

Still missing you Dad

Dear Gloria,Dennis,Betty,Janice and your entire families,I was absolutely stunned when "Killer" Keith Bolster called me wednesday night and told me Doug had died.It was only a short time ago,at the "fifty year class reunion",that I got to spend some time with Doug. I grew up next door to Doug and his family and we shared school from the first grade at the "Little School,on to high school. I still have pictures of Doug,Dennis and several other neighborhood kids at a couple of my birthday parties. I have dozens of memories of our times together especially playing basketball. I will miss Doug and his easy smile and funny stories. Jim Cleaves-South Meriden,Connecticut

Gloria: I am so sorry for your loss. The last time I saw Doug was at the 2005 reunion and we both talked about retiring--I was an adjuster for 12 years and and agent for 27 years.and we were both tired of the insurance business. I hope he had some time for retirement. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Gloria, Dennis, Betty, Janice and your entire families,
I'm saddened to hear of your recent loss and wish to extend to you my deepest sympathy and prayers. I have such pleasant memories of the distant past with Doug and all members of the entire Dodge family.

When I was 12 years old I recieved a birthday present from my uncle.. it was a used baseball that he had recieved after one of the many high school baseball games he had been involved in winning. For him it was all he had, for me it was the best gift I could imagine, from one of my high school heros. I remember (like yesterday)laying on the living room floor and listening to Dewey Dewitt.. a Bridgewater/ Easton basketball game.."Doug Dodge steals the ball again and scores a bunny"
One cold night in Old Town,Doug and I were part of the Wadleigh Warriors We were the only two left on the court facing 5 Indians..He looked at me and said."we are going to win this game" And we did!
My hero, my uncle.
His quick wit, willingness to pitch in, and a pretty good table hockey player.. A great guy.. my uncle..Doug.
He will be missed by those that knew and loved him.

Gloria,Janice,Betty,Dennis, I was shocked & saddened to hear of Dougs' passing, got the news from Killer. I have many fond memories of times with Doug, we played a lot of sports together from when we were real young. My second home was at the Dodge residence! My thoughts and prayers go out to you all at this time of sorrow. God Bless. Barry Tapley

Doug was a very good athlete and a great guy! I played baseball against him in high school and played baseball with him at Husson College and have a few interesting stories about him. This is a sad day....

Dear Kerry, Mrs. Dodge & The Dodge family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time.
Hold close in your heart the memories of your loved one.
My sincere condolences to you all.

Dennis & Carolyn:

Was so sorry to read in today's paper that your brother passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked with Doug for several years at the Aetna. I will always remember his kindness and wonderful personality. Although I have not seen Doug for many years, I am deeply saddened by his death. My sincere condolences go out to his family and friends.
