Richard E. Doornbos

Jennifer and Lisa, ya are orphans just like me. Both of our parents were as well known for what they gave back to Nederland. I know exactly how both of you feel, I lost my dad, Pat Johnson this past February. At least all of parents are buried at Oak Bluff were generations call the final resting place knowing their loved one will come visit them.

It won't be much longer until I will be with my folks, as I have Stage 3B Lung cancer and a fatal disease.

My God take your sadness away, as your dad would never want you to cry, rather rejoice and have a good life.

I only knew Mr. Doornbos through the coffee clutch at Mcdonalds. Mr. Doornbos, Sonny Vitabo and Paul Broussard would tell great stories about past events that they had witnessed. I liked to listen to Mr Doornbos and Mr Broussard with keen interest. Mr. Doornbos spoke of a place he had in Merryville or Deridder ,always made me a little home sick . He was a fine story teller. He has been missed at the coffee clutch for sometime now. My condolences are with the Doornbos Family. Gavin Bruney

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jennifer and her family. Richard was a remarkable man and he was a good friend to my father and in return my dad cheished his life long child hood friend.


All my Best ,

GOODBYE MR. NEDERLAND ...THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY I GOT MY FIRST JOB IN 1975..GOD BLES U AND THE FAMILY CLYDE

Sympathy, with love and memories.

Our hearts go out to the family.

Richard had the smile that made you feel like it was a great day. I can remember those great pastries he made and shared. Nothing like a warm cinnamon bun he'd show up with.. We were blessed to have had him and Peggy as friends..

Go fly with the Angels !!!

Jennifer and Lisa, may our God comfort you during this time of grief. You dad was a very special person and I am so glad I had the privilege to know him.

Jennifer and Lisa and Family, My deepest sympathy goes out to you. Richard was the kindest man I have ever known and I always loved when I visited my Mom and he would bring me freshed baked goodies he had just taken out of the oven. He will be greatly missed by so many. My prayers are with you and your Family.

My deepest sympathy to all the family. I am so sorry that over the years, I have lost touch with the Texas branch, but I was delighted to have seen Richard one of the last times he was in Montana.

My deepest and sincere condolences, words can't always express how we feel when someone we love dies. A wonderful memeory, a hearty laugh or just a hug we had from our loved one, these memories will always live within us. May you have comfort from the scriptures as well as comfort from family and friends. Revelation 21:4
