So sorry to read about Dougs passing. He was a bright light at the Mt. Clemens Farmers Market. When my granddaughter was little he always handed her an apple to munch on while we shopped the market. Condolences to all of his loved ones.

Doug was the beloved son of my late sister Nadine Wiegand. He was always full of cheer. About 20 years ago he showed up here in California where I live riding a motorcycle. We had a wonderful time together. We always enjoyed visiting him & Shelly in Michigan. I wish we had done it more often. We will miss him.

We are very sorry for your loss. It´s sad that Doug died so young. We are grateful for the time he gave us when he visited our home in South Carolina. Love to all.
