Doug and I were classmates at Creedmoor High ’62. I remember Doug was a good guy, Sorry to hear me has left us.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Means a lot. Very difficult time for all of us.
Doug High was a classmate, and he was voted most likely to succeed, played on the basketball team, was an honor student and was one of the nicest people in our class. I’m sorry to hear of his passing. I extend my sympathy to his family.

I am very sorry to hear of Doug’s death. MY Mom always cared about him and loved baby-sitting his daughters. My thoughts and best wishes go out to all of the family.
Hi Danny, it is so good to hear from you. My sisters, dad and mom and especially my Nana all adored Ms. Lea. We miss her so much. I found a picture last weekend of my Nana and I when I was 4 at Ms. Lea’s house. I remember I would ask her every time I was there how she got the hole in the kitchen window. LOL. Thanks so much for your kind words and posted a comment.
Julie, My Mom, Kathleen, absolutely adored all three of you girls and loved babysitting all of you. My best wishes to all of you.

You are in our prayers.

Hi Betty,
I heard from Jonathan a few days ago, it warmed my heart. Miss you all so much. Thank you so much for the kind words. It has definitely been a hard time for all of us. Sending love back to you, Jennifer and Jonathan.
I t made me sad to learn of Doug’s passing. I graduated with Doug from Creedmoor high School in 1962. I remember him being a gentleman even at that age, he was friendly, kind and polite. He always took his classes seriously, just the opposite from me. I was always running my mouth and he would look at me like he thought I was crazy. The teachers did too. God Bless you Julie, Linda and Cynthia keep your memories safe in your heart.
Butch, thank you so much for your kind words about our dad. He was a good man. Love hearing the memories you have of him.
Julie, I wanted to let you know how sorry I am to hear of your dads passing and I am thinking of you at this sad time. May you find strength in the love of family and friends. My most sincere condolences.
