    To Marilyn and The Uberig Family,

    My condolences to you on the passing of a husband, father, grandfather, and father-in-law. Although I hadn’t seen Doug in over four decades, I remember him well from my days at Elmira District High School.

    I graduated from EDHS (now EDSS) in 1959 and Doug, I believe, was one year ahead of me. He would have graduated in 1958. I know that he was active in a number of student committees at EDHS and was very popular with his fellow students throughout his time at EDHS. Doug was always friendly and personable with everyone. His easy personality and good humour made everyone feel good in his presence. He always seemed to have a smile on his face. He was equally popular with the teachers as well. I do recall being out to his house in West Montrose back in the days when the Elmira-Guelph road was a county road rather than the highway that it is now.

    Sincerely,

    John Easton

    Hello Marilyn,
    We wish we could say some magic words which would take away the pain, sorrow, loss, and emptiness, but we don’t have any, but please know you are in our prayers and thoughts.
    God Bless You and Keep You
    Carl and Sharon Okimi and all the staff at Okimi’s
    Words cannot express the sorrow or emptiness you must feel

    Dear Marilyn and family
    Please accept our condolences and best wishes to you and your family. I have fond memories of Doug when we worked together at Moore and could hardly believe what I was reading when I got an e-mail from Dave Sangster.
    Bev and Jane Morris are up at their cottage until about the middle of September and I will let them know when they get home.
    Bye for now
    Jim & Jean Walden
