I remember working with Doug a few years back and he was always good for a smile and a laugh. Can't believe his smile only in memories now. Prayers for family and friends!

As a graduate from Bolivar, my memories are long lasting of Doug from middle school. Very heartbroken over the news. Thank you for making middle school a great experience.
