I was very saddened to read of Doug's passing. He was a very conscientious postal employee and truly an excellent gentleman. It was my pleasure to have known Doug and Linda while we worked at the Naperville post office, as well, as younger Doug at Granger Middle School. May God be with all of you during your time of loss.
