So sorry to hear about Doug’s passing. I have so many fond memories of times spent with Doug from our first acquaintance when we were 7th graders at Laurel. He and I were part of the farm kids that transferred to Laurel schools from our little Dixon county elementary schools. We quickly became friends and that continued on through high school. His dry humor entertained us. Memories of riding together in his old cars. We both made excellent use of our school permits driving prior to being 16 yrs old. Hunting and golfing together. He had a hook and I had a slice. Bowling and playing poker come to mind also. Many of you may not be aware that Doug wrote some very intriguing murder mystery short stories when we were in high school. At the time, I thought he might become a writer. Doug was the best man at our wedding. As typical with many men, we did not do a great job staying in touch through the years but I’m thankful to have been able to visit with him on the phone a few months ago. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to his sister Judy and the rest of Doug’s family and friends. God Bless you all.
