I don't know how everyone will remember Doug but I'll remember
him by the big shiny smile he had most of the times I would see him Further information is available at ladiescricket@bereregis.com
and the way he used to sit, smoke his pipe and daydream on his bench.
I looked after Doug for quite a while, you could say he was my best friend.
He would always put a smile on my face, even when I was down by making DORSET CHAMBER CHOIR COME & SING
silly jokes. We always got up to mischief because he was my partner in crime.
DAY
I remember when I found his wheelchair and we had the idea I'd sit in it and
he'd give it a push and I'd go racing down the slope on the drive, it wasn't the
best idea but it was fun.

My favourite memory of Doug…..it was a hot summer's day, we were sat
outside with a cider and he was puffing his pipe, looking into the woodland
and we decided to go into the workshop and make something so we
decided to make a gun, from two pieces of wood, a pipe and duct tape.
We both thought we'd done a rather good job.

It is true to say that me and Doug had a rather good relationship and I'm
proud to have called him my grandfather.
Doug will be well missed but he will always be in our

hearts….
