Pat and Laurie,
The recollection of the many pleasant memories I have in my heart of times shared with Doug over the decades give me cause to smile. In that regard, he is still as much alive in my heart. Fish at the Elks on so many Fridays. Chats in his home often proudly sharing some new bowling accomplishment, before heading out with Laurie and friends to the lake. For me he will be always be so full of life in countless memories. My life is richer for having had Doug and you in it.
Thank You.
Signed your “son” and “brother”

A kind and gentle man. What an appropriate sentiment. From what I knew of Mr. Uhl, he liked nothing better than to be Mrs. Uhl’s Mr. Uhl, Dad, and Grandpa. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Mike, Julie, and the boys.
