Doug loved his kids. He loved his grandkids. He loved his brother. He loved his friends. He loved his dogs. He loved his country. He loved his guns and he loved the Pine River. It is easy to love a man like that.
Doug was my friend for 40 years and we trusted each other. I always knew if I ever needed help, I could count on him. We shared a lot of good times, cheap beer and many laughs together. I will miss him.
