Kim, Tammie, Sherrie, Debbie, John, Alice & Wilma…so sorry to hear about Uncle Doug. Although his grumping and growling scared me to death when I was a kid, I really came to enjoy conversations with him at the firehall over the years or running into him at the grocery store. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you deal with your loss. No matter how young or how old, it hurts the same. God bless!
