I met Doug in February 2007 through a business relationship. He always went out of his way to make sure others came first. His job was his priority. When I knew he was in decline, I asked him if he would be okay and if there was anything he needed or I could do. He replied, everything will be fine and he would be okay. He will be missed!

Doug was a true professional and one of the kindest persons I had the opportunity to work with at the USSS. His commitment to the mission and his family was outstanding and is an example the rest of us should follow. God Bless him and may he have eternal peace.
