I love u so much buddy. Gonna miss u but I know u have your peeps showing you the ropes up there. Bill has a bud waiting for you.
Love you Dougie. Miss you forever! I’ll miss you saying “Bob Jones” before you told me anything. Mostly funny things. Always laughing always a great time. Miss you buddy!
The photo that accompanies this obituary is perfect. Doug and his ever present smile. He Took it with him wherever he went. Sometimes he’d smile so big, you could barely see his eyes. If you are lucky enough to have known him, you know exactly what I mean. I’ll miss him. He was a great guy.
My condolences to Jacqui and all the rest of you Lobsteins.
Mark, we were saddened to hear of your brother’s passing. From the photo you share his infectious smile and joyous persona. We know he will be missed. Our condolences to you, Karen and the Lobstein family.
Yesss, “Bob Jones” Doug always called me “Cinderella” made me feel special 💙
