St. Catherine's church had only a few people when Peter and I arrived shortly before noon, but it was almost completely filled by the time the 1:00 p.m. mass began.  Before mass, a brass band played "When the Saints Go Marching In", followed by it being sung by the choir.  The mass was celebrated by three priests with a full choir paying tribute to Doug.  The homily was very personal, since the priest knew Doug so well.  And even the petitions were special for artists, musicians and runners.  Everyone was invited to the the Bavarian Bier Haus at 4:00 p.m. to celebrate Doug's life.

We took a slow ride since it was not even 3:00 p.m. and waited in the lobby while the dining room was being prepared.  We each had complimentary beers at the bar and soon the dining room was filled, spilling out into the bar. 

The Milwaukee Alpenbläser that Doug co-organized, plus Peggy Mueller, played while we visited and had a light buffet lunch.

Twelve alumni of the UW-Madison band also played some familiar band music for Doug.

It was obvious how Doug touched so many lives in countless ways by the number of people that gathered in his memory.
