I missed you before you passed away Mr.Doug. When you moved to New Orleans, I barely saw you anymore.... Before you moved, we all had so much fun at your house, hanging out, laughing, and watching the Saints games. Always was a good time at your house in Dularge, Cooking, BBQ, Bonfires. Will always miss your sense of humor, and your stories of the good old days. You will be deeply missed, ROCKIN ROLL, always!!! Love Cari

Worked with Doug at Mound Point. He was one of the first operators to train me. That was 30 years ago. I did get a chance to talk with him a few months ago to kind of catch up. He will be missed.
