I am a close friend of Genny’s in Rochester. She always spoke so highly of her brother Doug and really loved him. Everytime I mentioned I had played tennis (which was often), she would always say her brother Doug was still playing. I hope I can play as long as he did!

Dear Farrell Family,
My sincere sympathy! It’s been a long time but will always remember how kind Doug was. I remember many times seeing him jog by on Shore Trail say quick hello and then on his way he went! He lived a long good life. Sincerely, Pauline
