Read MoreDoug, as I knew him in the 70's and 80's, was an inspiration to me in my road running. Always offering good advice and tips he improved my athletic abilities and kept me from injuries.

My sympathy and condolences to Doug's family. We first met while I was a student/athlete at Jackson Community College in 1975-77, where our track and field teams had some great successes. Thanks for your steadying influence, Doug, and may you rest in peace.

I am sorry to hear of Doug´s passing. He did live a full life, working and mentoring young students. I was one of them. Being a young football coach at Parkside, in the late 60´s and into the 70´s, there I found Doug supporting me, giving of himself, as he mentored me with his calm confident demeanor. He was a major addition to the Parkside HS football coaching staff. Lovingly, John Raut
