Condolences to the Family

I’m very sorry to read of Doug’s passing. My sympathies and prayers to all of his family. I knew Doug from my years as a PE teacher and coach at PM. Doug and I oftened shared conversations while he was mowing the grass or painting lines on the field. We solved many of PM’s problems over the years. 🙂 I consider myself fortunate to have shared a bit of life’s journey with him.
Good-byes may be the law on Earth, but Reunions are the law in Heaven so don’t say good-bye just “see you later.”
Peace and Blessings, Wayne Hoffman

Sending my deepest sympathy to Doug’s family.  I was so saddened to read of his passing.  We were soulmates in high school and went everywhere together in his little green beetle.  He was a gentle spirit who was kind to everyone, loved nature and all wildlife.  He will always have a special place in my heart.
