Doug had been a part of my family for as long as I can remember. No, we were not related but he was always there for my family. My dad ( Robert "Reds" Stauffer) and him were joined at the hip. They were as close as brothers.
There was the shared New Years eve dinners with my parents and Doug and Phyllis. The plastic dart that stuck to his forehead and left a bullseye. So many things that will forever be in my heart.
When my dad passed and then my mom, Doug was there for me. We had kept in touch, wrote letters to each other and spoke about many things including things I never knew about my dad.
He will be missed and I am saddened he is gone but I also know he is with the Lord whom he loved so much.
Be at peace my friend.
