Myles and Allison,
I'm very sorry to learn of Doug's passing. He was a wonderful father, husband, and friendly man. Even though I only saw him once a year, I always enjoyed our visits. He had a hearty laugh and always showed interest in others. We had talks about politics, work, and family. He had amazing memories of the Williston and the surrounding area. And, of course, he understood the oil industry inside and out. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
Rick

I was saddened to hear of Doug's passing. It was always nice to run into him at work. He always seemed to be able to work through the roadblocks. I loved his "can do" attitude. He was always in a good mood it seemed, with at a ready smile and ad a knack for making you smile. He truly was a nice and decent man. My sincere condolences to all of Doug's family. You lost a great man there. RIP Doug.

Sorry for your loss, I'm from Gloria Dei Lutheran church where Doug and his wife were members. I served Doug home bound communion while in the home across the street.

I'm sorry, I didn't know you had been here for awhile with your dad. I would've come to visit you or helped out if needed. I was thinking about you a few weeks ago, it would have been mine and Tom's 44th anniversary. You were a beautiful "Maid of Honor" for me. I am sorry, I did not know you lost John until I read your dad's obit. It would be nice to see you again. I enjoyed seeing your parents around for years after I moved back here in 1981. Nice people! Always had a smile to give me! If you'd like to be in touch you can find 1 of 3 landlines or my cell 770-6605. Sadly, I don't think I can make it to the cemetery on Friday to see you. Miles, I will miss seeing you also! With our sympathy, C'Dale & Phil

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your dad. Your parents were such good people, as evidenced by the fine son they raised. I rememer you fondly from our days at Webster School. You were such a good well mannered student. I will keep you in my prayers

We were out of town for the services. Charlotte and Doug were such great people. I loved catching up with them from time to time or enjoying a cup of coffee at the house. Sorry for your loss!
