Douglas's Memory Wall

We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of Douglas here, so that the family and other loved ones can always see it. Share your favorite stories or comment on those shared by others.

Doug Murdoch was a true gentleman in all aspects of the word---such a kind, loving, and respectful man who loved his family with his whole heart. We are grateful that he was given a peaceful passage to reunite with his parents, Jim, George, John, and Lucille.
We made a special trip to South Haven in October 2015 to visit with Doug and MaryLou. They were so kind and gracious and even prepared lunch for us when we arrived. Later in the evening we ordered pizza and while we visited with Jack, Deb, and Doug, Mary Lou joyfully played and danced with Cameron at the Tasting Room at the Vineyard. We are more than happy that we took time to travel to South Haven and for Cameron to meet his great uncle. We cherish these precious memories.
Please accept our deepest condolences and sympathy. He will be deeply missed by many and most assuredly us.

Doug will be missed by all of CASCO but always remembered for his acts of generosity and kindness. Our boys benefitted from his generosity by the numerous Christmas trees he donated to Troop 2 of Fennville and his overwhelming willingness for them to turn a good deed and come and hep Jim take leaves from his home. We are grateful for his willingness to make the Parks and Recreation committee part of CASCO forever for the future of our community to always enjoy. Our hearts go out tot he family in this time of sorrow and prayers for comfort are on their way and may they feel the warmth of this community in the cold wintry air. Thanks be to God for his part in our world and for making Christmas a greener one in our home for years!!!

So sorry to hear of Doug's passing. I was hoping to see Doug in Florida this winter. I got to know Doug & Mary Lou at Leisure Acres in Sebring, Florida. They were both regular attendees at my exercise class at Leisure Acres. I know and I think they enjoyed my regular surprise visits to their mobile home. We would have great conversations. Doug loved Mary Lou and demonstrated his love for her by his support of her in our golf league. I especially remember the short time Doug allowed me to give them a wake up call at 7:00AM to be sure they got to my exercise class on time. In 2015 we stopped and visited Doug & Mark Lou as we were returning from the Detroit area to Wisconsin. He arranged for his son to keep the winery open an hour later so we could see the winery. He also took the time to show us their home He was a champion of a man and I will miss him..
