Doug was in the same year class as my oldest brother. He was a true outdoorsman, hunter and trapper. I will miss him at the field days where we always reminisced . My father always enjoyed talking to him when ever he came into the bakery . My sympathies to his brothers and all his family.

The Members of The Independent Fur Harvesters of Central New York want to extend our condolences. Doug regularly bought fur at our sale in Pompey, N.Y. He will be missed. Karl Curtis, Secretary

I was so sorry to learn of my oldest friend passing away recently while here in Florida, Doug & I go way back to 1950 when I moved to Pulaski Hill in Mexico & we were neighbors who quickly became lifelong friends. There`s too many memories to list them all but Doug taught me how to trap, fish, hunt, water ski, and drive a stick shift. My thoughts & prayers go out to Pete & Jeff at this most difficult time. RIP Doug my old friend.

Deepest sympathy to the Backus family.

Our sincere and loving condolences to Doug’s family and friends. We were cousins I remember all the good times we had at Uncle Art and Aunt Verna’s home on Pulaski Hill in Mexico. RIP Doug. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🌺🌺

Pete and Family,
I am sorry for your loss. May your memories be a blessing.
