I had the pleasure of working for Doug for almost 25 years. In business he was 100% professional and went above and beyond for every client who walked through the door. He set the standard of preciseness and perfection for the entire office. A small office team caused us all to be close and much like a family. Fun times and laughs outweighed the tax season stress, and his laugh was contagious. Doug was very forward thinking in his business strategies, and although a small firm, he saw to it that we remained on top of new technology, software, and educational advancement.
.
Condolences to Helen, Cheryl, Glenn and all family. Doug was loved and held in high regard by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed.

Doug was not only our accountant for over 20 years but our dear friend. We will always remember his hearty laugh. It's just so sad that his plans to enjoy his retirement years with his children were cut short. May his memory be eternal.

I was Doug's mailman at Roberson and Yost in Quakertown for many years. After a short time I realized it was a unique atmosphere in his office with the interactions of the employees and anyone that walked through that second story door. I loved delivering there and Doug's dry sense of humor made me smile every day. We became friends and I spent many a day stopping to visit after work to banter with Doug and the rest of the wonderful people he hired to work for him.Those interactions went on for the rest of my postal career. We began playing golf and some how he always seemed to beat me. He took such joy in making sure I would never forget that I had lost to him even to the point of framing our scorecard and permanently keeping it on his desk. I'm smiling as I write this just as I did when he showed me the framed scorecard. Doug was a good friend and will be missed. My condolences to Helen, Cheryl and Glenn on the loss of a really fine man.
