He enjoyed watching his grandkids sporting events, going to once a month family get togethers and pool parties. He loved to sit by the ocean to watch the dolphins and storms roll in. He enjoyed playing poker with the nickname of "Stacks". He also loved singing while smoking a cigar and listening to music. At events he was the life of the party, especially if there was dancing involved, as he enjoyed that so much! He stayed in touch with his close-knit Schulte friends, golf buddies and work family. Doug loved deeply and was deeply loved. He will be missed by family and friends.
