Sorry for your loss Devon. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I AM SO SORRY DEVON, JENNA AND KAYDEN. SO HARD TO LOSE A PARENT. PRAYERS AND HUGS.
Devon, so sorry to learn of your father’s passing, you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Devon, Jenna and Kayden, I am sorry for your loss.
Uncle Doug lived a life of service to others. From voluntarily serving our country through Viet Nam to serving his communities in Wisconsin and South Dakota as a law enforcement officer. He was a major influence on my decision to join the thin blue line. His example and guidance led me through 26 years of public service in my communities in Wisconsin from patrol officer to chief of police. His legacy will live on through those that chose to follow me. He will be greatly missed.
Sue and I send our condolences Devon. We’re recalling many years of friendship and professional work at WWPD.
Devon, Jenna and Cayden, thinking of you all as you travel this sad journey. Your memories can never be taken from you, I hope you can call them up from your heart and they give you peace.
Devon – My thoughts and prayers are with you and family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. God bless you all
Susan and Leon
