Doug loved the farm and country living.  He was an avid hunter, enjoying many trips to Montana and Colorado hunting for elk and mule deer.  Minnesota rifle season is a family tradition, enjoying many years of stories and opening day prime rib/pork loin dinners at the Oslin hunting shack.  He also liked to fish, taking trips to Canada, Lake of the Woods and Captain Hook's fishing launches.  He enjoyed the many winter morning drives with Adam Peterson checking to see what was happening in our rural community.   Cooking was another one of Doug's passions.  Many have enjoyed his dinners, snacks, homemade sauerkraut, venison jerky, shrimp cocktail, homemade ice cream and other delicious dishes.  Doug and Joyce enjoyed countless side-by-side trips with special friends.  Traveling to Colorado, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and their friends' cabins.  Doug's grandchildren were his pride and joy.  He was always eager to attend any of their events and was their biggest fan.  He loved his German Shepherd dogs ferociously as they gave him countless hours of enjoyment and loyalty.
