He worked at Rent-A-Center in Texas, then as a salesman and finance manager at various car dealerships throughout the Lehigh Valley.

Doug Wells' name for me is synonymous with the very kindness and meekness he bestowed every time I saw him. Thank you for always being a shining light at school Doug!!!

He was a kind and wonderful man. I am proud to have called him a friend at one point in my life. Sad to hear of his passing.

We shared many sunsets together and you would have been amazed with tonight's.
I have so many wonderful memories with you. We shared 26 years together and I'm sad there won't be more. We were ALWAYS "there for each other".
Missing you more than anyone could realize or understand.
You will live on in my heart.
I love you.
