To Fay and family, so sorry to hear of Doug’s passing, I have fond memories of working with him at John Edmonds, he had a lovely way with him, a real gentleman with a great sense of humour, the office girls loved when he came into the office, thinking of you all at this sad time, kind regards

Deepest sympathy to you Faye. Doug and you were very welcoming and helpful to George and I when we first began motorhomeing.
We are going to sell our van in spring as we are no longer able to use it and have shifted to Gore recently
