DOUGLAS MCNAIR Obituary
Douglas Raymer McNair, age 90, passed away January 2, 2020.
He was born in Dayton, Ohio; married in New York to Barbara in 1961; they lived in Alaska for 16 years; had two sons, Scott and Tom; moved to Mount Vernon in 1973.
Doug worked in refrigeration and heating, retired at age 81.
He appreciated and loved his daughter-in-law, Sylvia and his two grandchildren, Ava and Jake.
After asking family and friends what they will remember most about Doug, here are their replies: "A man among men, sense of humor, the story telling, fixing anything so it worked well, love of flying and adventure, protection, tenacity, kindness, being a "man's man", gentleness, happiness, friendliness, confidence, generosity, intelligence and the Bing Crosby voice".
A thought from his wife of almost 59 years: Doug's favorite expression was, (if the person was someone special,) "He was a man to ride the river with". I did, and what a journey we had.
Doug's final resting place will be with his son, Tom, at Clear Lake Cemetery.
Arrangements are under the care of Lemley Chapel.

He was a great guy! I loved hearing all his stories of his younger years in Ohio.
The best employer and friend a person could have!
