Miss you Doug. You sure made the dog track interesting.
So sorry to hear of John’s passing. I will forever remember him with my dad at St. Croix Stallion hockey games. My sincerest condolences to the Kafka family.
I will always remember the way you told stories Doug. You were a great man, and it was always a breath of fresh when you sat at my desk to tell stories. My most sincere condolences go out to the family. I’m certain you’re missed and will be.
