May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. (Psalms 116:15)

So sorry to hear of Doug's passing. He was my sous chef at the Great American Cafe and again at jetstream's. I then used to see him on the street and at trade shows when he represented J&J Snacks. Awesome guy- always a smile and fun to be around. also used to do an incredible version of " patience" which would put Axl Rose to shame. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Dougie Fresh will be remembered fondly
