I'm sorry for your loss. I remember Doug when I was a kid growing up with my Grandma Fern. Thank you for your service Doug.

We got to stay with Doug back in 2000 on a US holiday; 2 Aussies and a kiwi. We had gotten to know Doug (MAC 3) through a chat room called 40s retreat. Doug introduced us to his home, to Plymouth, to Micki, and to his friends, most of whom he had known and loved since kindergarten. We had our first cook out under the stars, had a corn dog at the Ashland fair, Janice rode on the back of his bike, had coffeemate in our coffee 😫, and enjoyed every second. We have kept in touch with Doug all these years and kept up with the growth of his family. Ohhhh how he loved his family! ❤️ When Doug told me of his prognosis, he did so with candour and humour. Poop! He said.... You are a good man Doug, we will miss you. Rest In Peace. Condolences to your beautiful family and to your friends. Ruth, Janice and Helen 😀

I haven't seen Doug for the last several years. While we were growing up we were great friends. Doug was always up for something and was a bit mischievous. I have a lot of great memories of our young life in Plymouth. He was quite a force and sure to be missed. Semper Phi Marine

The class of 1960 is going to miss Doug at our class lunches which we are starting to resume. He was always there & helped keep them going. I always enjoyed his stories. My condolences to his family.
