Dow Earl Prouty
When your family lived on Evergreen street up the hill from the Ryders, I often played with and babysat for the Prouty children. I remember being fascinated and a little envious when Mr. Prouty built a “bridge” in the backyard. No water, of course, just a low place in the lawn. That little bridge provided hours of games and play time. Even then, I had a sense that he was a dad first and a builder second; a gentle man who genuinely cared about a young girl down the street. I am very sorry for your loss. Beth (Ryder) Hill
Liz and family. Please accept my condolences for the loss of Dow. It was a beautiful obituary written about a wonderful man. Heavenly rest, your work on earth is done. Scott C
Jeff,and family..I remember the proutys family across from us on amber drive. What a great neighborhood. You have my prayers to all...and I remember what a beautiful family.
Cindy and I would like to send our heartfelt sadness in the passing of Dow. Jeff, Mary and the entire Prouty family should be so comforted by the fact that he lived a wonderful life and raised a lovely family. Wally and Cindy Wetzel
