Our sincere condolences to the Dufresne Family. Doug was such a kind man. I remember Doug and Eva coming into their warehouse on Panet Road in earlier years. He always had time for a quick chat and interested in what was going on in your world. Loved to talk farming. Although their earlier farming was different than ours he truly showed an interest. We’re so sorry for your loss. With fond memories. ❤️ - Posted by: Chris & Dave Murray (Prior employee) on: Jul 05, 2025
