I am totally shocked, I did not know of Doug's passing. Doug's eye for detail not only made him an amazing body man, but a true artist. More importantly, as a customer, from the first time I walked into his shop I felt that I was part of his family. Doug will truly be missed. I pray that your family can soon find peace with your passing
