He and his wife raised 7 children. Doug was a founding member of St. Agnes Catholic Church, where all his children attended school. Doug cared for his late son Brian who had Down's Syndrome and started a Boy Scout group for disabled children, which he and his youngest son Brian participated. Doug was a man people were just drawn too. He was always welcoming and entertaining. "We became great friends from day one when I walked into his home and he was blasting his Country music which I could hear out to the road" said Comfort Keepers Lisa. "I knew we were a perfect match." Doug and I enjoyed our love for Country music. We enjoyed talking about Tipperary, Ireland; where his family came from and where my daughter and grandson live. Doug & his family lovingly welcomed me into their family." Story by Comfort Keepers, Caregiver Lisa Doug and his daughter attended the Honor Flight from Wisconsin which meant so much to him.

The market will be held on space at Ray's Auto Service, 13230 Watertown Plank Road in Elm Grove. The mar- ket's first night is June 8, and the market is scheduled to be held each Wednesday through October 26. Shop- ping commences at 5 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m. "I love farmers markets," Sadowski said. "I've said for years, 'How come we don't have a farmers market?' I guess it took someone bringing it up and actually doing it." Sadowski owns two Elm Grove busi- nesses – Wild Side Salon and Spa and Get It Together Clothing Boutique. The businesses are side by side in the 13000 block of Watertown Plank Road. The market is being labeled as a vil- lage market night, as opposed to a farmers market, in an effort to gener- ate interest in business in Elm Grove after hours. "You want to keep the traffic going in the village," Sadowski said. "You want to keep people out walking and utilizing the businesses." Sadowski and others — including Jamie O'Donoghue at O'Donoghue's Irish Pub, former Village President Susan Freedy, Pam and Breanna Brilowski at Sweet Tooth and Eva Bartz and Paula Kroening at Get It Together — put together a market appealing to those who "make stuff," Sadowski said. "We had an aggressive list of peo- ple we wanted and the things we wanted to offer," Sadowski said. "We were very selective on who we select- ed — it's a little bit of everything." The lineup is an eclectic mix of vendors selling arts, crafts, food, pro- duce and more. The response turned into more than Sadowski expected. She admits to initially being nervous at the prospect of organizing a farm- ers market. "I was going to be happy with 20 vendors, having room for 53," Sad- owski said. "We had to stop at 40. We had to turn people away. I didn't want it to be overwhelming when we first opened." More information about the Elm Grove Village Market Night is avail- able at http://www.elmgrovevillage- market.com.
