We have so many fond memories of Doug over the years, and we will miss his smile and friendly personality. We loved seeing him in his element at his home in Erda, where he loved sharing his adventures with the many animals on his hobby farm. It was evident he enjoyed life to the fullest and loved his family. He left a wonderful legacy in his son Connor, whom he was so proud of. We are so sorry for your loss.Love, Rex and Liz Hale
