I am so sorry for your loss. Doug always had a good laugh and package of twinkies for us. I pray that God will comfort and bless you.
Sincerely,

Doug was a "Manager's Special". He serviced his Hostess Cake customers with pride. You never had to ask Doug to do something ... because it had already been done. I will miss my Friend here on earth but I know he will live forever in a greater place. Im sure that Doug and my Pop will have many stories to share.
I hope the people that worked alongside Doug learned many good values and ethics that he had.
I was very lucky to be able to talk to my Friend on Sat. before he passed. I did ask him to watch over me ... he laughed, said that should keep him busy.... I am so proud that I was able to tell him bye.
