Doug also had a heart of gold. I submitted a photo which included him as a volunteer to repair and reset headstones at the Veteran cemetery in Port Orchard. He did so seeking no reward or money and like a few of us considered it an honor. Doug literally saluted each headstone he repaired and thanked each individual for their sacrifice and service. His work there will remain for many years. Doug will be sorely missed and I have no doubt that he is in eternity, no longer suffering, but in peaceful rest with our Creator. May God bless his family in healing.

Doug had a heart of gold as well. Doug volunteered to repair and reset headstones at the Veterans cemetery in Port Orchard and he saluted each one.
