Over his career, Doug worked at the office of Arthur Parrish, CPA, at Western Union, and finally as a printing press operator for many years at Shenandoah Valley Press, formerly in Strasburg, VA. He always took great pride in providing for his family. He had a lifelong passion for the outdoors and was an accomplished hunter and fisherman.
