Douglas Schindler Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Doug was an avid hunter and outdoorsman and loved animals, especially dogs. He loved going to the family farm with friends and always wanted to retire there someday. He had a great passion for racing and loved watching the NHRA. He had regularly traveled to local events, but had been to tracks all over the country. He was also a skilled mechanic and enjoyed working on almost anything. He will be deeply missed.
Preceded in death by his father, Fritz, he is survived by his mother, Pauline; son, Douglas Jr. (Leslie); siblings, Fred (Sally), Kim (Scott) and Randy; and many other loving relatives and friends.
