My dad and Doug were friends for many years, as most will know. The stories of the adventures and antics, especially when it involved Maynard, were classic. I didn’t keep in close contact with Doug in recent years but, I am thankful I did get to go visit him recently. I will surely miss you. Fair winds and following seas
Will miss you Doug, thanks for being a part of our lives. Beverly Onken, Janie & Bob Shorb, Butch & Pam Pero and Bill & Nita Pero.
To Michael, Amy and Family, Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
Michael & Amy, My deepest condolences to your family. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
