I met Doug when he was beginning kayaking and admired his dedication and enthusiasm for the sport, the water and the group he paddled with. Now his soul has peace with God.

I will never forget the long talks we had during lunch last year teaching 7th
grade. Doug always shared his passion for teaching math, kayaking and Fuzzy.
He was a wonderful friend to have and will always be in my heart.

I taught with Doug at Sherman MCA. He was determined to see his students succeed. He was a very giving person. May his soul find peace with God.

November 14, 2009

Honest, fair, truthful, goal-driven, respectful, dedicated, thoughtful and compassionate are a few words that describe Douglas. He was intolerant of people who do not possess these qualities.
I miss you so much.
