Klages a good man

My husband and I own the Moonlight RV Park up in Pend Oreille County, and we were heartbroken to see the news about Doug Klages. He was a previous tenant. The man had a good soul and did not deserve this kind of death. He was such a kind person that anytime he was near here he would stop just to say hi. He always treated everyone like you were his best friend. He loved people.

We had seen Doug last December and he just bragged about his daughters. He knew he had a drinking problem. I sometimes think Doug was allergic to alcohol because of how he was when he was intoxicated.

I heard they may have caught his killer. Shame on the killer. I pray that justice is served to the highest degree.

Thank you Spokesman-Review for giving Doug the front page. He’s bragging in heaven. Bless you!
