I am so sorry to hear of John Douglas' passing. My Mom and Doug's father were siblings. Mom, Doug's Aunt June, had a very soft spot in her heart for Doug. She regularly kept in touch with him and as a result, our family benefited from his visits. There were many livingroom chats and laughs had about farming and horses. I remember after a story was told, Doug often responded, "Yes Sir..."
Mom always reached out to Doug over the Christmas holidays, not only because it was Christmas but because he was a New Years baby and Happy Birthday wishes were in order. She always had a parcel of home knit mittens and food ready for him on his Christmas visit.
Our family was so touched when Doug was able to attend Mom's funeral and reception. He was not well himself and yet he took the time and energy to attend and show his respects.
It is hoped that when Doug passed, he was doing what he loved, taking care of his horses.
Rest in peace John Douglas. You will be missed.
