I was one grade below Doug at Idaville but we ALL were Greenstreaks. We lived across the street from each other and played together in all sports basketball, baseball, and track. Doug was a great athlete and although he was a big guy he could outrun all of us. I have lots of memories but the one that stands out was at Halloween when he was a senior we dressed up in costumes and joined a group of younger trick or treaters. We were twice as big as they were and nobody guessed us but got a chuckle when we took off our masks. I wish we had met up before he passed. So happy he was a Christian since that is the most important think of all.

Doug and I had lots of memories at Idaville High School playing sports. He was my best man in my wedding in Monticello, IN when Sue (Newman) and I got married on August 29,1964. So sorry to hear that he passed away. Best Regards to Sandy and the rest of the family. Love to all of you. Ed & Sue Geisler Battle Ground, IN

So sorry to hear this, enjoyed him coming up here fishing with you JB and the boys. Praying for all your family. :pray:

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

This man touched my life briefly while I delivered his food to him at Schneck. He was so kind and gracious when I talked to him and sang happy birthday to him. It was sad day when I found out he had passed. I will never forget how nice of a man he was.

So sorry to hear of Doug’s passing. Prayers for Sandy and all the family!
