Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. We all met Doug at a restaurant a distant 14 years ago and were friends with him from that moment on. We loved hearing stories about his travels with Sally and about all the unique and rare items that he collected. It was funny though because we all had motorcycles and Doug said, ‘I’ve never been on a motorcycle and I’ll never get on a stupid motorcycle” in true no-holds-barred Doug fashion that we appreciated and loved!

    We will miss him at our breakfasts and especially will miss his quick-witted sarcasm which made us laugh, even when it was directed at us. We had so much fun at those breakfasts with him!

    Friends like Doug are rare to find. Even though we will miss him dearly, we will always continue to carry him in our hearts.

    His friends,

    Ralph Lagergren
