So sorry to hear of Doug’s passing. I always think of the Adams family fondly as a unit and have so many good memories of our childhood paths crossing in so many ways while growing up. I still have a visual memory of Doug playing the trumpet in our small high school band…where ball players had to march in their ball uniforms because everyone was needed to make us a whole unit. Prayers of comfort for the entire family. Jill Evans Shields
MY HEART WAS SADDENED TO HEAR OF DOUG’S PASSING. MY LOVE AND SYMPATHY TO LOIS, MISTY, DANNY, SAGE, AND ALL OF THE ADAMS FAMILY. I, AS MY SISTER JILL, HAVE VERY FOND MEMORIES OF THE ADAMS FAMILY, ALWAYS FEELING WELCOMED IN THEIR HOME BY GLENDORA AND LOTS OF LAUGHS AND PRACTICAL JOKES FROM DOUG IN SCHOOL. THE LAST TIME I SAW DOUG HE WAS AT HENDRICKS COUNTY HOSPITAL WITH A PUPPY HIDDEN IN HIS COAT JACKET TRYING TO SNEAK IT IN FOR LOIS TO SEE. SAME OLD DOUG! REST IN PEACE IN HEAVEN WITH CHRIST DOUG. SINCERELY, PHYLLIS (EVANS) QUINTANA AND FAMILY.
