Douglas R. Raasch

Joan, our sincerest sympathies at learning of Doug's passing. We loved our years with the North Stars and the Moose hockey fan clubs. Most of all just knowing you both. Peace to you now. You're in our thoughts.

My heart goes out to you. May God bless Doug and God be with you. Your vitality and courage in the face of adversity are an inspiration, Joan. My prayers and thoughts are with you and all of those who knew and loved Doug.

St. Louis, Winnipeg, Chicago...anywhere there was NHL hockey and the North Stars, there was Doug. His passion for the game and especially the people around the game were what drew me toward him and Joan. Lots of trips and games and most of all fun. Doug was definitely one of the good people.

Joan,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you, and peace.

Doug and Joan where stargazer and so was i and my daughter Tamra.we will miss you dougie.love you hockey brother always.we will See you again.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Doug was one of our greatest assets at DOLI and a wealth of knowledge. He was always willing to help and fun to talk to. He will be truly missed. Thanks for sharing him with all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sorrowful time. Marilyn Berthiaume, Berkley Risk Administrators Company

Although I haven't seen Doug in quite sometime I know my childhood wouldn't have been the same without him. Growing up at the Met and with the Stargazers around, especially Doug and his willingness to share the game we all love with a little one. I'm lucky to have known him, he will be missed.

Although it's been quite a few years since we've talked to Doug, We still have fond memories from the days at the Met Center and the Stargazers fan club...trips to Warroad, St Louis.

Joan, if it weren't for you and Doug, I am sure I would not be so firmly entrenched in hockey. I learned so much from both of you! I often think of how many between period meetings of the Wild Booster Club Doug and I held at the top of section 110.

Even though I didn't know Doug very well, I enjoyed seeing him and Joan every Saturday at Old Country Buffet. He had a great sense of humor and was a very pleasant person to talk to. He will be greatly missed. My sincerest condolences to his family. Take comfort in knowing that he is at peace and is watching over you.

I will miss Doug's hockey updates and just seeing him and talking with him. He was a wonderful person and all of us at DLI will really miss his presence. There are a lot of good memories with/about him.
