I will never forget the day two years ago when I reached for my phone to call and check on Doug, and it rang. It was Joey Korte on the phone calling to give me the news that Doug had passed, literally as I was going to call him. Last year I bumped into Lisa and the boys at the 178 Club in Bull Shoals, as they were here to spend time together on the anniversary of Dougs passing. They all looked good and they invited us down to the house for a visit, though I passed as I felt they needed time to themselves to memorialize Doug as they felt. I miss Doug, and I miss Gary, and I miss that big ole Sam. I still have a part of Sams boat from a time he made an accident happen. Then as pleased as we are with Joe Okada on our advertising, Gary and I clicked to do some amazing work, which Joe and I do now. It soon will be three (3) years on Garys passing. He tried hard to keep tuggin his end of the rope till he no longer could. Doug had a heart of gold and would do anything you asked and more than you would ask or expect. I am sure that his brother Dudley is missing him greatly. Then today I learned of Hugh Crumpler III passing just today, when I visited with him yesterday. This is all hitting very close to home. Well enough reminiscing. We all miss them and they gave us the Great American Function which started at Lukes place.
