Shirley/kids - I am so thankful for the six years Doug and worked together and became friends at Mallinckrodt (2000-2006). Your dad was a prince of a man and I loved him and appreciated his help and support greatly. I am so sorry for your loss and I’m praying for the peace of Jesus Christ to comfort you in a supernatural way. Your dad will be missed by so many.
