I had the privilege of working with Doug in the First district. We worked the wagon together for about a year and I can honestly say there was no better partner than Doug. We kept in touch through the years and it won't be the same not hearing from my good buddy. To his wife Dawn and his two daughters I extend my deepest condolences. So sorry for the loss of a great man and former partner.
Sincerely
Sal Ruggieri
