Not sure what to say?

I was a co-worker of Doug's at Mallinckrodt in the late 1970's, and early 1980's. Our job was to make actionable plans from vague information. This was frustrating and thankless. Yet, Doug was able to accomplish his responsibilities while maintaining his temperament. Doug was a knowledgeable "go-to" person for other workers. He had a good demeanor, and will always be remembered for this. He didn't deserve the health affliction that came late in life, and he left us way too soon.

Doug was a good, kind man and a great neighbor. The love and care his children brought in his time of need speaks to what a wonderful parent he was.

Doug's contagious smile & twinkle in his eye put each of us at ease. Our good fortune allowed us to call him our friend.

A heartfelt smile; a kind word; a willing hand; a neighborly greeting.
A gentle and unassuming man who will be deeply missed by all of us who had the good fortune to cross his path.

So very sorry for your loss. Doug was a kind man and wonderful father.

It was such a pleasure to be Doug and his family's neighbor. He was always ready to converse and gather for neighborhood get togethers or just "over the fence" He was a true inspiration to Melissa and Andy.
