Well if he's in my neighborhood I hope we get the 40 piles of gold and the 40 Virgins. Doug needs that! 👍

I checked the zoning and its approved by our HOA.

Doug , dad and I always loved finding you out there even before you even liked us Enjoyed watching you catch fish with that beautiful blue healer of yours! As we got to know you over the last few years dad and decided that you weren't that big of an [censored] after all no hey now...We love ya Doug and the Whiplash family are with you and wish you the best in your recovery you gotta believe! See ya on the water

Doug,
I don't know you but I am praying for healing and comfort for you and strength for your family and friends. God bless you.

Forgot to say I love you man
If you still can read this on your hospital bed....in beautiful Beaumont, Tx.

Doug, I am praying for strength, peace and love for you my friend. Roy is absolutely right all the trival things in our lives should be set aside. The most important things in our lives, our connectedness to the Lord and one another are the most important things of all. Love going out to you this evening Doug from me and my wife Patsy.

Doug my friend I thank you for the things I have learned from you. I have injoyed the times fishing beside you on the lake and dock. I pray for you getting well soon and have many more fishing days ahead. You have many more big Hybrids and Crappie to put into the boat. Prayers sent! Pat and Anita

Prayers sent. The Lord Jesus Christ has control!

Although I do not know Doug, I offer my hopes and prayers for my fellow man and fisherman.
Wishing you a speedy recovery .... many more fish to be caught
God Bless

Doug, I have met you a couple of times on Hubbard. I truly hope you get thru this and get back on Hubbard and continue to enjoy what you enjoy to do. Get well Doug!!

Roy and I were texting last night... I hope Doug saw the humor in the mansion zoning in Heaven. Obviously we want him back out fishing. The rest is about our guarantee for eternity. To me it's an RSVP. I always say have no reservations about making that reservation. Peace Doug.

Doug - sir I have never met you but I can see you've got lots of great people around you. The power of prayers will heal and get you through. God bless you sir. See you at the lake some day...

May the Lord give you strength. He is always with you! Prayers to you sir!

Update from Doug this morning...

Feeling a little better today. Getting out of the ICU today but probably 1 - 2 days to go. Thanks for all the prayers guys.

Doug, I have fished beside you or close to you for years. To be honest I didn't like you much but not because of who you were or what you did. It's because you were always out--catching me!! Lol. I thought of myself as a pretty good fisherman until I got out in that deep water and you would take me to school. I would tell myself "it's because he's using live bait"......until that one day I noticed he wasn't using bait. Lol.

I can respect and try to learn from someone like you!! Godspeed my friend. Prayers to you and your family during the terrible times.
