Mr. Doughtie was a pleasure to care for whilst he was in the hospital. The staff became very fond of him and his family and were sad for him to pass. Our prayers are with you all.

Buddy was a distant friend and I have fond memories of our times together on Geneva Avenue. I still laugh at some of the ridiculous things we did but they seem so worthwhile now.

My sincere condolences to his children,wife, brothers and sister.

May God comfort you and lead you in the days,weeks, and years to come.
