It still doesn't seem real. We already miss you so much. My kids absolutely adored you. I'm really going to miss seeing you in the yard playing golf, or watching the kids tackle you the second you walked in to grandma's house. There are so many amazing memories that I will cherish forever. I love you uncle Doug. So do the kids. -love "Hoss "
