I am just now hearing of the passing of Uncle Doug, we might have lost contact for many years but I have to say I have fond memories of Uncle Doug .. the one that I will always remember was a beautiful fall day he took Bambi and I in his little blue gremlin to spend an afternoon at Green Bay where we strolled along the little coves in the way down he taught me how to blow a bubble gum bubble. He and Bambi kinda if laughed when they knew I didn’t know how. It’s just a little simple thing but I will always remember that day … Rest in Peace, Uncle Doug
