Clare and Kim - July 10, 2025

We are sad to hear of Doug passing away. Doug was a very helpful and generous man to us on the farm; mostly repairing equipment and getting machinery going. On occasion he would take over square baling and fill the wagons . He would make us laugh when he would talk to the baler and say "now your gonna bale some hay" maybe not that polite... Always had a good time with Doug and good visits when he and Karen came to get sweet corn. Doug will surely be missed .
