Forwarding info from John Smick (SourKraut):

Doug Mills (Jammaman) unfortunately has major health problems (tongue/mouth cancer on top of his Parkinson's) and is not expected to recover. He is heading to Hospice in Seattle and at this point is extremely confused, unable to eat, etc. I'm sure thoughts and prayers will be appreciated but I have no email address or contact info at this time and will post info if I receive any.

For those who were fortunate enough to know Doug; he is one of the very best members of ST-Owners. He is always smiling and laughing, never complaining about anything.

One of the good guys whose presence is larger than his massive physical existence; a truly great man.

Sorry to her about your friend, prayers sent for him and his family.

Very sad, he's definitely one of those guys you always liked seeing as he always brought your mood up. Like Tom said, always had a smile on his face.

That is truly sad news, thanks for letting us all know. Oddly, Doug came into my thoughts not too long ago as I realized how long it had been since we'd seen a post from him; I knew he had Parkinson's but of course, had no idea how ill he actually was/is.

Thoughts going out to him, his family and all his friends.

Thanks for posting Tom. Sad indeed a man as upbeat as he has been, is in such bad shape.

 

[Jethro]

Give him a hug from all of us.

Awww man, sure didn't want to hear that!!! I met Doug at Moonshine. He was new there and looking for someone to ride with. About that time Bob Donald comes walking up. I introduced them and it turned out they lived pretty near each other. Saw him several times after that. I was wondering lately how he was doing. I knew he had some medical issues but hate to hear that.

Like Bob Donald, Doug was a true gentleman and a nice guy to know. Definitely prayers going out for him.

Thanks for sharing that picture of him up at Terry's farm. Brings back good memories. Sorry to hear of this sad news. I've only met him a few times but he was always a pleasure to be around...

Doug really brings character to an event. The list of members is getting too long. Karl, Putt, Terry, Mark, etc.. There are more, but those are the ones I knew. Prayers and hope.

Doug is one of the good ones for sure. I guess I last saw Doug at the last OzarkSTOC at Theodosia. Him and Bob Donaldson drove up in Doug's red Volkswagen beetle. What a great weekend that was.
Doug needed toothpaste and asked if I wanted to ride with him to the grocery store. I said "sure" since I'd been indoors all day watching it rain, sleet and snow. Everything was an adventure with Doug. Who knew something as mundane as going to the grocery store for toothpaste could be such a side-splitting affair? I don't remember what we were talking about or what was said but I do remember wiping tears from my eyes from laughing so hard on the way back to the campground. You couldn't help but smile when Doug was around.

Doug, I know you won't see this but I truly hope your final days are filled with peace, love and solitude. You deserve it. I am so glad our paths crossed and you made me laugh and forget about life for a while.

Spent an afternoon with Doug in a little pub in Pulsbo, WA. a few years back. It was the funniest and best afternoon a person could experience.
