Doug's name was like a staple in our household, even without his physical presence. When I married "Doug's" cousin, Charlie Ferree, I married into a tight knit group of hunters/ fisherman, and Doug was somewhat the "leader of the pack". Hunting & fishing is their way of life... Doug was a nice man, with a canny sense of humor; he always made you feel welcome, esp. with his teasing.. He, Chuck Ferree and friends hold a wealth of knowledge in all areas of hunting & fishing. Packing and Unpacking, arising while dark, off into the woods, was so engrained into their souls, their heritage.. Doug will be sadly missed by many.. God bless you Pat & Kerry.. Love, Linda & Chuck Ferree
