I’ll always remember our childhood days with visits to the farm and most recently our cousin reunions at the lake. Your loving cousin, Barbara
Doug was my best pal, thru Shakopee H.S. and for several years beyond. He was a feisty competitor and good guy to have at your side. I have so many good memories of Doug.
May he Rest In Peace.

Doug always had your back. He was a big brother to me! Not always following his own advice he impacted my life in a positive way! I still miss him to this day.
