I remember speaking to Brother Doug Monson as he worked with us as our daughters lawyer. He was kind and I could tell he felt our personal loss with dignity represented well our family. He was our neighbor along with his family and I appreciated having friends who had a special place in their hearts for Hawaii and BYUHI. I’m grateful for him and Carol and pray she will feel her husband’s love always. God be with you’re eternal family.
Doug was my childhood friend growing up in West Valley, Utah. We hung out all the time, even getting into trouble from time to time. I knew his family well and I was always welcome at the Monson home. My family moved to Oregon my freshman year of high school. I never felt I had as good a friends as I had in Utah. Having recently moved back to Utah after almost forty year, I looked to reconnect with my friend only to find he had passed away. God be with your family, Doug. You are missed.
