I was so sad to hear of Doug's passing. Doug was such a good person, caring and positive man. I always looked forward to speaking with Doug. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, Bob, Ginny, Jon, Brie and Doug's love of his life, his wife. Doug always had such wonderful things to say about his wife and his entire family. That always impressed me. Family meant so much to Doug and it was obvious. May you feel God's embrace during this very difficult time. I will keep all of you in my prayers for healing.
Dear Shirley and family,
We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Doug. You and your family were such a big part of our lives as our children were growing up and we loved the friendships that were made between our families. We will always remember Doug's terrific smile and kindness to us all. He never hesitated to reach out to Mike and I wherever we passed and made it a point to stop and ask how we were doing and how were our kids. How fun it has been over the last few years to have our grandsons play basketball and football together and once again rub shoulders with this good friend. We are grateful to have known him and feel so blessed to have your friendship over the years. May the Lord bless and comfort your family at this time. Love, Mike and Shauna Coe.
Shirley and Family,
Just wanted to offer my deepest condolences for this great loss. Doug was a dear sweet man who I had the pleasure of working with here and became friends with due to a lot of similar history. When speaking with him on the phone he would always say how he looked forward to the day we could finally shake my hand. Sadly, due to covid and us moving south, I never got the pleasure to to do so. I will miss my friend and my heart truly goes out to you all during this time.
Respectfully,
Jonny
Dearest Shirley,
I will always have fond memories of times spent together with you and Doug.
Doug was a kind, generous and loving person.
You are blessed to be surrounded and comforted by those who love you so very much.
My sincere condolences.
