As our Yeoman you made the tour for my brother and me aboard the USS John R. Pierce so very pleasant. Your efficiency and dedication to your job was second to none. I will be eternally grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with Doug through the past few reunions for our ship. Rest in peace my good friend.

I worked with Doug for many years at Graybar Electric. Doug taught me about business and life. Doug was always positive. I will never forget his laugh. Doug made all feel welcome and at ease when in his presence! Doug was a blessing to all the many people he came in contact with. I will greatly miss Doug's kindness and large personality.
