We knew Doug and Frances since 1982, where Doug and I worked together for Colonial Williamsburg's Hotel and Restaurant Division. We adored Doug and Frances for their wonderful complimentary sense of humor. We will miss Doug dearly. John and DIane Hunt, Atlanta

Doug was a wonderful man. We went to high school and church together and his mom was my Sunday School teacher. Doug and Layton were always a mess and I know his family will sorely miss him. He was so young! You are all in my prayers.
