I remember Doug when he first started his business and had his office on North Sixth Street in Reading. He worked hard and was a credit to his profession. Sorry to learn of his passing.

I was very saddened to hear of his passing. I have fond memories of Doug when I was a member of Berks Writers in the 1980s. He was clever, thoughtful, helpful, kind, witty. May he rest in peace, and may his memory bring comfort to all who love him.

Sorry to hear of Doug's passing. I enjoyed having him in my Tai Chi classes. He was always fun to chat with on any topic. He is missed.
