Worked with Doug for a long time. He was always smiling, cool and calm, and willing to help out to address challenges and solve problems. He was always looking for a project. Our first Christmas card each year was always from Doug and Karen. My thoughts, prayers and sympathies go out to Karen and his entire extended family during these times filled with emotion, friends, and lasting memories.

I have known Doug and Karen for many years 40+ years we worked together at Drackett.
I loved Doug’s good nature, sense of humor and his smile!
My husband Dave and I always enjoyed getting together for dinners and most recently at El Coyote we had such a great time and Dave and I will always cherish.
It’s never easy to say Good Bye but hope it brings comfort to know the light that Doug shared will SHINE ON in your family’s heart forever.

Great neighbor for 20 years. Always helpful and happy. And he was such a nice and interesting guy to spend 4 hours with on the golf course. Prayers to Karen and the family. God Bless. Fran and Janean Dicari.

I met Doug through Karen, a co-worker. He was so calm, even-keeled, funny, and a true gentleman. He will be missed. So sorry for the family.

I worked for Doug for over 21 years at Hixson. Always even tempered and easy going, he never seemed to get rattled.
My condolences to Doug's entire Family during this difficult time
