Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • My thoughts are with all of you during this time- Doug was a great friend of my dads for many many years they had many lunches together before my dad passed. He was a part of our lives growing up and I enjoyed seeing the two of you whenever we had a chance usually at some function or another. Hugs Diana! I know he is up there with my dad- laughing over a lunch and a drink! - Posted by: Sue Joyal (friend) on: Jan 29, 2018

  • My sincere condolences to Diana and family for your loss. Doug was a great family man and friend to many. Doug was a great mentor and coworker who guided me expertly in the Quality department at Boeing for many years. I have many good memories of Doug and they will remain with me and everyone he knew forever. I am sadden that I cannot be at the service on Tuesday. - Posted by: Chris Aldridge (former co-worker and friend) on: Jan 29, 2018

  • Doug was a great friend to my mother and father for 50 years and will be sorely missed. I always had great fun chatting with Doug as I was growing up. I am delighted that I was able to see him (and Diana) at Mom's 90th birthday party last year and Mom was thrilled that both were able to attend. My sincerest condolences to the family. - Posted by: Paul Griss () on: Jan 27, 2018
