Dear Mary & Family LaVerne & I are sorry that we cannot be there with you, your Family & friends, today. Our friendship with you & Doug has lasted 47 years, from about 1965. Our years with you & Doug, especially during our university days, are fondly remembered. � In class, Doug & I sat beside or close by one another during those years; � We prepared for exams together, oft times with Elio Palazzi (deceased, about a month before Doug), Ron Manchen (overcoming health problems in St. Thomas ON � Linda would not let him join you today), Ihor Lapka (still in Windsor, as is his ex, Betty) & Bob Lauzon (deceased a number of years ago); � You & LaVerne (before she contracted MS) & sometimes Betty Lapka shopped together; & � We often celebrated at the Bridge House, The Dominion House, Ghans, Lee�s Imperial House, & any other classy place we could find! Doug was a true, loyal, & beautifully imperfect friend. He had a great sense of humour, a unique laugh, & many friends. He worked hard for his degree, & if it had not been for the statistics subject/class, he would have been even more successful. He loved his Family very much. But each of us has one or more weaknesses, & Doug was not an exception here. When it was last call at the Bridge House, he or Bob Lauzon always had a location in mind to carry on the celebrations. We worked hard, & we played hard, & many successes followed over the years. As we mature & some of our dreams have materialized, our kids have grown up, & some of our friends & partners have gone to meet their maker, life continues to challenge us. One of the challenges you now face is how to move on without your life partner, & this will not be easy. But we know that you are up to the challenge. Please let us know when the challenge becomes too much for you. That�s what friends are for, eh. Come & visit. Warmest regards from us here in Parry Sound/Carling. Jim & LaVerne Bunsch

Come & visit.
