I always enjoyed Doug's sense of humor, lots of memories of working with him back in the Family Fare Bakery Days. He was and still is a hard working, Godly man, with lots of energy oozing out of him! Praying for all of his friends and family today as you miss him, so glad you have a hope to see him again!!!

I was so sorry to hear of Doug passing. I worked for him at the Family Fare in Lowell bakery department. He was such a great boss. Everyone thought very highly of him and looked forward to the days when he worked in our store. We have been remembering some of the laughs we shared and how kind he always was. God bless all of you.

Dear Lynne,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband. I first met you and Doug 36 years ago in the apartments on Woodhaven when we all were newlyweds. He was such a nice man and we always had fun talking together. My sympathy to you and your whole family. He was much too young!
