Doug was a great police officer and a good friend. I learned a lot from Doug and he was always willing to jump in and help. He taught me how to play golf the right way. Always cheat on your score card and a foot wedge is required pretty often. I miss those days. There will never be another like him. Our love to Paula and family.
