BG February 26, 2012, 10:15 pm Never again, will God bring such a unique individual as Jim Doud to pleasure us, and give a laugh, and sometimes a chewing, but always a truly heartfelt emotion booming from inside his large heart and from his wonderful laughter. I pass on my condolences to his family and all others, and know that all who knew him, loved him, in one way or another. Let him now give God a laugh, and let him do his new job of cheering up the rest of the angels...
