When I first met Doug we where opening a new restaurant in Memphis he was such an easy going guy a perfect fit for that particular setting. Hospitality has sooo many entities as whole. I remember having several conversations with him about life and things they were always just genuine. When decided to relocate to Louisville I was so happy he said if this way and need some you'll always have to work with me and I know he truly meant that. So sorry for the of a son, a brother, a partner, and father absolutely sincere condolences to all

So young with so much more life to live but an eternity of bliss.
My heart is with all of the family.
Doug took a chance on me one day- that chance led me into 12 years with a company in which I didn´t believe I could even have an opportunity.
He asked, "why do you want to work here." I laughed & said "because it´s got a fish on the side of the building." He chuckled & said, " you´re going to be my challenge."
Started as a cocktail waitress, up to bartender, to official server, & knew that place like the back of my hand.
It was the first time I got offered a goal to reach & I want to say I take pride in meeting that challenge.
He will be missed for sure, but again- this stay is just temporary. We will meet again my dude. w/love & light.
