Ms. Linda, Shaun, Michael and Jami,

I know it's been such a long time since we've seen or even heard from each other, but I have such fond memories of all of us together, whether bowling league at Rainbow, traveling to a tournament or just sharing time. Mr. Doug was such a nice man and it was always a pleasure to be with him. I am certainly not the only one to think such; my brother Marc and Melissa called me just as soon as they saw the notice in the paper. After all these years, that's how much you guys still matter to us. I just wanted to let you know. Thoughts and prayers to you and your families.

I am so sorry to see that Dougie passed away. I certainly recall the great games we played together. What a wonderful ball player he was back in the day. I had no idea he was sick.
