Amy and family, I am so sorry for your loss. May God give you all comfort during this sad time. You all are in my prayers.
Carol Smith Reeder

Doug was a Class of 1967 Classmate and friend. He was always supported and attended our Class Reunions. His presence will be missed at our 50th Class Reunion. It was moved to an earlier date than usual in hopes he would be able to attend. My maiden name was Carol Smith and we were always next to each other in our Class photos. Larry and I extend our sympathy to his family.
