Longtime No. St. Paul resident.
Age 73
Douglas died in his home July 3, 2019. He was a teacher, youth hockey coach, and army vet who served in Korea 1970-1971, and was a fixture in the No. St. Paul parks and rec. dept. He was born in St. Paul, MN on 01/15/1946. He attended North High and graduated from the U of M with a degree in teaching. His youth hockey teams were a force to be reckoned with and they won multiple championships. He loved working with kids and would often talk about the players and games in great detail. He was very generous and doted on the children in the family, showing up with bags of gifts and a platter of jumbo shrimp and perhaps- to everyone’s horror- a fruitcake! He was a great talker and could expound on many subjects. He is survived by four brothers; Richard, Dean (Mary), Mark (Brenda), and Glen; former sister-in-law Pamela; and 8 nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed. Graveside Service Tuesday (7/16) 10:00 AM Lane #5 at FORT SNELLING NATIONAL CEMETERY, 7601 34th Ave. S., Minneapolis.
