I was just talking about Big Doug and googled his name and got this...I was saddened. Doug was my big bro...a real cool giant of a brother...intelligent and fearless and one of the most solid brothers I was blessed to have met and gotten to have known in my 18 year stay in Tennessee colony . He was a legend outside and inside as well...gonna miss ya brother....God added a true warrior to his army indeed.
