Lantern Foundation Grieves Loss of Douglas F. MacLean

With deep sorrow the Lantern Foundation announces that, Douglas F. MacLean, the secretary of the board of directors passed away unexpectedly on Monday, February 6, 2017.  Doug was a true friend to the foundation, volunteering his time, energy and talents selflessly.  

His extraordinary intelligence and ability to think strategically were second to none.  Always quick to help, Doug was a true friend to the countless others whose lives he also touched.  Our prayers are with his wife, Hadley, and their four beautiful children.

He will be sorely missed.

May The Lord give rest to his soul, in a place of light, in a place of repose, in a place of refreshment, where there is no pain, sorrow, and suffering.

May his memory be eternal.
