Doug was born on Feb. 8, 1934, to Otto and Lois (Jamison) Gruber on the family farm south of Cozad in Dawson County. Doug attended rural school at District 66 and graduated from Cozad High School. Doug was an accomplished pianist and had a beautiful tenor voice, competing in many vocal competitions. After high school, Doug attended the University of Nebraska and was a member of the marching band and the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. On Dec. 21, 1952, Doug married Harla Jean Kreitz, of Lexington. After completing his schooling in Lincoln, Doug and Harla returned to the family farm to make their home and raise their children, Marsha and Marla. Doug was active in the community, serving on the school board, church board and NRD committee, and he was a member of the church choir. He also sang for many weddings, including both his daughters’ weddings, and the funerals of many. Doug was a charter member of the BPO Elks Lodge No. 2250 in Cozad and played the organ for their ceremonies. Doug and Harla enjoyed traveling all over the United States and abroad. Traveling was their hobby, but they were always ready to come home to Nebraska. In their later years, they spent many months at their home at Johnson Lake, where they entertained family and friends. Doug could be found almost daily on the road to Elwood to check on his cows. Doug was preceded in passing by his wife of 58 years, Harla; his parents, Otto and Lou; infant brother; son-in-law, Mike Feik; many sisters- and brothers-in-law; cousins; and lifelong friends. Left to carry on his legacy are his daughters, Marsha Feik, of Cozad, and Marla Gruber, of Johnson Lake; grandchildren, Matt (Alison) Feik, of Cozad, Marcy Feik (Chad Phaby), of Cozad, D.J O’Donnell, of Ashburn, Virginia, and Cody O’Donnell (Danielle Locke), of Leesburg, Virginia; great-grandchildren, Madison Navarette, Bryant and Austin Feik, and Avery O’Donnell. He was also Grandpa Doug to Meghan, Cadence and Miranda Phaby. Also left to mourn his passing are his faithful and loyal ranch manager, Leroy (Kristine) Wendland; sisters-in-law, Marilyn Sutherland, of California, Janet Bowman, of Iowa, and Jan Kreitz, of Indiana; and many nephews and nieces and their families. Doug’s cousins were like brothers and sisters on the Gruber side, and he will be missed by many. Services will be at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 15, at the American Lutheran Church in Cozad with Pastor Terry Tomlinson officiating. Burial will be at Fairview Cemetery south of Cozad. Berryman Funeral Home, Cozad is in charge of the arrangements.
