Dear Peg and Family
Sorry to hear about your loss, Doug will be greatly missed. I have alot of fond memories, from Christmas when we were young to having the odd drink with him at the Dokis. It will not be the same without him. I hope I can remember how to make the gravy and the salads! And I hope I can start shooting deer like him!

Peggy, just tried to phone you but you were out so I decided to send you this note. Judy and I were shocked to hear of Doug&&single&&s passing. Just returned from Florida and saw it in the Huron Expositor. Wow! I don&&single&&t know what to say except that he was always my best friend growing up in Seaforth and so much enjoyed seeing you and him the few times we returned to town. Being the best man at my wedding tells you what I thought of Doug.
I don&&single&&t know the details of his passing but it must have been sudden since we talked not too long ago and he seemed ok at that time. Judy and I are so sorry and we are thinking of you and you&&single&&re family. I&&single&&m really sorry we couldn&&single&&t be there for the funeral and we are praying for extra strength for you as you try and get by this very difficult time. I would like to talk to you and if you e-mail and give me a time I&&single&&d be pleased to call.
Thinking of you,
Bob & Judy Reith.
