Douglas Odell Nichols, 83, of Decatur, Illinois, passed away December 13, 2023.

He was a devoted husband, father, dentist, Viet Nam War Veteran, and avid golfer. Some may say he became a dentist to support his golfing habit. He always supported his Fighting Illini, Chicago Bears and St. Louis Cardinals. Never a fair weather fan.
A member of the infamous “Bandits” on the golf course. Known as “Tooth” to his friends. Generous to a fault and equally as loyal.

If you were fortunate, or unfortunate enough, to play golf within a two mile radius of hole 2 at the Decatur Country Club, you were almost guaranteed to hear a melody of profanity followed by a splash and dull thud as the head of his six iron gets buried into the ground while the pond claims another one of his Titleists.
