To Peggy, Andy, and Juile: There will always be a special place in my heart for Doug. It sadden me to hear of Doug's home going but he's in a much better place now. Doug always made me laugh and I can still see the smile on his face when I would run into him at Chamblee Police Dept. Your family has my deepest sympathy and I will keep you all in my prays.

The family of Louis (Bo) and Sandy Herndon wish to express our condolences. Doug was always a special friend even though we have not seen your family in many years. Doug was our son, Mark's baseball coach at North DeKalb. We all have fond memories of that time. Mark now lives in NJ and coaches is son, Mark, JR, in baseball and football. No doubt Doug's guidance made an good impression on our son.
Our thoughts are with you during this sad time.
