Go PACK. Doug always wore green and yellow packers clothing. He loved to talk about football with anyone. He enjoyed volleyball, bowling, fishing, golfing, and cooking everything on his grill, even in the rain and snow. Doug and his children enjoyed waterskiing and snowmobiling together. Doug left a large hole in our lives, but even in death we feel his love rushing in to fill that emptiness.
