I went to Mariemont High School with Doug. Even though he was older and traveled in different circles, I liked him. We both grew up in a "Mayberryesque" town called Terrace Park. When I think back on Doug Cherry, I recall his pleasant demeanor and humor. God bless the Cherry families.

To a friend who never knew he was one, to a soul whose passing will be missed. With fond memories of growing up in a small village where everyone knows who you are -- you will be missed. Have a good journey, my friend.
