LaRhae and family,
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Doug was a very special man. He shared alot of knowledge with me and he helped out our department on more than one occasion. He was very proud of his family. I will always have alittle chuckle from him that he would never let me drive his car..He did however give me a ride once and he was so proud of that car. He will be missed. Take care and call me if you ever need anything...Peg
