My condolences to Linda and family. So sorry to hear of Doug’s passing.
I have listened to everyone of your love and stories. So many things made me really smile, The mention of his family love, his pride and happiness with Linda and family, the mention of his smile and all his antics. Doug is my youngest Uncle and the most loved by us all. He especially loved his nephews and had many wild drinking nights. I have found it extremely upsetting not to be able to attend as he was always there for all of us (his brother David’s family). We didnt see him much while he was in Cairns, I was lucky to see him, Matthew and Nathan when I went there back in the 1990’s. Linda, all family and good friends, sending you much and many thoughts xx
