Doug, your involvement in my life as well as all of Carol's children was so tremendously powerful. You never ceased in your love and support for all of us and I have missed you being a part of my life over the last year. Your self-less love for all those around you will never be forgotten and I thank you for allowing me into your compassionate heart for nearly half my life. I know your spirit will surround and support the family you have left in this world. I wish everyone the best as we work through this grief and celebrate all the wonderful memories that he has left us with.

From dell jaha
Douglas you are and will be miss by us all. To know Douglas is to Love him. Everyone is right his laughter made everyone around him happy. The Lord will have his hands full for knowing Doug is to know someone who loves giving directions on how and when to do things. I hope the Lord has a Super charged SS
for Doug to work on and maybe drive the Lord around. Would that not be funny. It nice to know that Doug in in a peaceful and wornderful place right next to the Lord. I only hope that he can whisper to each of us what is it like sitting with the Lord. Then we could all relax. Douglas now knows what the future held for him, he is one lucky person. We love you Douglas and will forever be in our thoughts. Everytime I see a 44 chev passing me my first thoughts will be I wonder what Doug could do to make that car look better. I remember the paint job he did on by Black Cad with the pearl paint mixed. Wow he made that car look like it was just off the showroom. Carol again it was a pleasure going to Whatcom College with Doug and meeting you then Doug and I would go on all our breaks to get that cup of coffee with a sweet treat. Even tho you kicked us out one time when we were giving you such a bad time. See it is always the good times we remember. Love you Carol for taking such good care of our Son...you helped him so much and he loved you so much. You have my love and help when ever you need it. Dell
From Barb

From Morgan benson
Doug, I wish I could tell you thank you. You taught me so much the last 10 years. How to be a father, a husband and how to be a better person. I will forever miss your pep talks your humor and how you always looked at the bright side of everything. I am great full to have had you in my life and the fun memories we had. You were always the one person I could turn to, you were always there for me, as well as christina,dylan and sydney too. You were an oustanding husband, father and grandfather and I hope to be half the man you were someday. I wish you were still here but I know your probably having fun in heaven crushing around in your hot rod right now.. I will forever miss you, forever remember you and always call you proudly the true father figure in my life. I love you Doug and I know one day I will see you again. -Morgan
From Christa Pepin
Wow. To put it simply, you were an amazing person. I remember meeting you when i moved to washington in march 2003. You quickly poked fun at me and had everyone giggling. It broke the ice. You were good at that. Making everyone feel comfortable. I could see how much you loved my aunt then,and only saw it grow over the years. You fit right in with our goofy family during our family reunion that summer,and you laughed everytime you heard it called nannypalooza! You were like a dad i didnt have and always gave sound advice. When i heard you were sick i have to say i was in shock. I hate that you had to battle evil,but i know you put up a good fight. You were a papa to ethan and someone to look up too. You held us up when my mom died and again when nanny passed. You will never be forgotten by anyone that knew you,and you will be forever missed. I hope heaven has an auto shop and god has you getting all the hot rods ready for the angel dream cruise. Tell my mom , nanny and my daughter i love and miss them. Thank you will never be enough for the mark you left in my life. I try and remember all if your advice in this difficult time and will try to do my best to honor your memory. Rest easy until we meet again <3 christa ethan and matty

From Mary
My sincerest condolences to your family. It's never easy to lose a loved one to death but hopefully you can draw comfort from the scriptures. One of my favorites is Revelation 21:4 where it says, "And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." One day soon, all human suffering and distress will be a distant memory. May the one "who imparts power" continue to strengthen your family. (Phil. 4:13)
From Carol (Biscuits)
Thank you to all that have posted on here, I find my self looking at it often. I miss my biscuits more than words can describe. They say with time it gets better. Well it has been 3 months and I have to say it is not much better. The only difference is I can finally have his pictures on my dresser. It was to painful to even look at them, I was avoiding the grieving process. I will see you again my BISCUITS... until then my heart is with you daily!!
