June, I was saddened to recently learn of Doug's passing. Had been thinking of you two each evening when walking my dog on the Greenway, as it was fun to find you there with your grill, making supper. Have missed that this summer, as well as not seeing you at Legacy Builders, thank to COVID. God bless and comfort you in the days ahead, and look forward to seeing you sometime in the near future.

Phyllis Andersen.

Doug was a wonderful friend to my husband.

So sorry for your loss June. You have given me a wonderful window into Doug early years, and your lives as you walked together.
