I worked for Doug in inventory at DDNV for approx. 12 years. He was a very likeable guy, who also had a great sense of humor. I can"t recall any one that didn't enjoy his conversations. I KNOW he will be greatly missed by every one who shared his company, and especially to his wife whom he often lovingly referred to.
