I'm so sorry to hear that Doodles passed away. Its been a very long time since I'Ve seen or talked to him or the family. He once helped us, a young married couple giving my Husband Matt a job and us a home to live in. I often remeber the times we lived in cameron as the best times and Doodles and his family a very good part of my memories. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I was sad to hear of Doodle's death. He was a good family friend and neighbor for many years. I always enjoyed hearing about the trips that he and Lois and Nita and Kenny took over the years. His was a life well lived.
