I was saddened to hear of Doug's passin. I knew Doug from work at the phone company. He was kind, caring and patient, always willing to lend a hand. He was the kind of person it was pleasant to be around.
May God bless you and family on this time of grief.

Enjoyed working with Doug at the phone company for 5 years. Our talks were about golf and a few other things. We enjoyed joking around. Never got to meet the family but he always talk about them. Doug is in a better place and will be missed.
