I had not heard of Doug's passing until now. And it pains my heart. He was a damn fine person. He had cut my hair since I was a little boy. He was a very good friend to me and my family. One time he bought My wife and I and our 3 children tickets to the circus and when I offered to pay him he would not accept a dime. I could go on and on about memories I have of visiting with Doug Fields. Rest in peace My Friend, You will be missed! My Condolences to his wife and children and Grand kids. Sincerely Doug Goucher
