My name is Sandy Collins. Doug worked for my dad years ago at Lee's Feed Store. I just remember that my father always said what a good worker and wonderful man Doug was. I remember that he hated to see him leave when it came time for him to leave. Please know my mother and I are sorry for your loss.
