Douglas Arthur Kriete

Doug enjoyed spending time with his family and lifelong friends, cheering on the Cardinals, striking up conversations with new people, traveling, watching his grandkids grow up, building and fixing things with his hands, and a really great cookie. His infectious personality, thoughtfulness, humor, and kind heart will be missed by all.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to: Our Lady’s Inn, 8790 Manchester Rd, Ste 202, Brentwood, MO 63144, or, Friends of Kids with Cancer, 16 Sunnen Drive, Suite 161, Saint Louis, Missouri 63143.
