I'm heartbroken to read of Doug's passing. Lois, I so cherish my memories of you both. Riding in your boat. I remember shooting prairie dogs. I wish I had found out sooner.

Of my memories of Doug cross my mind I recall going shooting with him at the Hug Hugoton landfill. He was so proud of his moose rifle. We had fun.
Many memories of Lois and Doug over the years. Praying for his family.

Doug and Lois were friends and we regret the health trials through which they passed during the past several years. Doug and I met at the local shooting range, and enjoyed comparing experiences about guns and shooting. We only found out a couple of weeks ago that Doug was in Beaver County Nursing Home, and had lost a lower leg. Our condolences go out to Loris and their daughter. God bless you.
