<p dir="ltr">> Hi Linda,<br>

> This is LeAnn Masat (Doug's niece) - We are sorry that no one has been able to reach Doug or George.  We don't know if you are aware but Doug had surgery back in April for esophageal cancer at Nebraska Cancer Center in Omaha.  The past 3 months have been very difficult for him unfortunately he lost the battle last night (7/14/2026).  Family will be meeting with the funeral home tomorrow to make arrangements however at this time we do not have a date of when it will be.<br>

> At this time Doug's phone has been lost throughout this ordeal, so if you can pass this on to others it would be appreciated.<br>

> Should you need to reach George his cell number is 308-390-4352.<br>

> Thank you, LeAnn Masat</p>
