Having lived well, laughed often (especially at the jokes he shared with family and friends),and loved much. Douglas led a life marked by all of the right measures of success, honesty, integrity and love.

 

Doug always put his family first and was a constant source of support and guidance. As a father he encouraged his children to challenge themselves to learn everything they could and offer more.

 

As a colleague, Doug was a leader; as a friend, he was always ready to lend an ear, a hand or a kind word. He led by example and held himself to the highest standards, earning the respect and admiration of this fortunate enough to know him.
