Doug was a very good friend who helped us get through a lot of rough times recently. Doug had a big heart and liked to help people in need. It was always a pleasure to watch him perform simple magic tricks for children while out at a restaurant. His sermons helped us to focus on the scriptures and to apply their meaning in our daily lives.
Doug will be sorely missed.
