    Oh if the walls could talk what stories they could tell but they wouldn't compare to your Dad's! He and your Mom were wonderful friends to my parents and I know they are together again, asking your Dad what took him so long to get there! My deepest sympathy to you and the family, Doug.

    Doug I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of your dad taking us dove hunting behind your house and the duck hunting of course. He was so kind to me and I always cherished you as a good friend. May gods blessing be with you at this time.

    Hated to hear of Donald's passing. He was a fine gentleman who was friend of my parents and so many others in Trumann. I will always remember him as kind, handsome, courteous and ready with that great smile of his. God bless you, Doug, and the rest of the family and his close friends.
