I just learned of Doug'a passing today. I met Doug at McDonald's in Panama City Beach, Fl. Enjoyed visiting with him and telling stories of our golf outings.
Sorry, to hear of this and had looked forward to renewing our acquaintance in P.V.B this winter.

When I think of Doug, the first thing that comes to mind is how funny he was. He always made me smile! Not many people have that gift. You left too early Doug!!

If it weren't for Mr. Swaniga I would have been late for school every day of my life! He saved me from countless hours of lunchtime detention and for that I was always very thankful! lol. Erin and I had a lot of good laughs together with her dad, even when we were up to something bad he always thought it was funny and never once yelled at us! I remember the standard at Erin's house was that if we ever needed Mr. Swaniga we always knew where to find him....in his favorite chair in the basement watching hockey! Erin would never let me sit in his chair, even if he wasn't home because then the chair became hers! I have a lot of good memories at the Swaniga household and I'm truly sorry for your loss.
Love Lynne xoxo

"I lost my best friend on this day...a friend from early childhood years, through picking our wives, to playing baseball and hockey together from minor leagues to oldtimers, so many memories, fun times, sad times, long talks and many trips together...you were always like a brother to me...rest in peace Swannie, " Ken.
Dear Gail, Words will never be able to express the grief we feel at this time, and we wish we could take some of the burden from you during this time. Please know we are always here for you. Seeing Doug in his final days and sharing a few precious hours with him was very special. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this time.
The pain for Doug is gone now and he will always be around you in spirit and surrounding you with his love.
He was so proud of you Gail and of you Tana and of you Tate. His family was his whole world.
Love to all of you ...Diane and Ken.
