Our deepest sympathy goes to your family. I will always have the fondest memories of Doug. He was always at our house. At first it was to sell insurance, but after time, it was just to stop and say hello and have a cup of coffee. I remember as a little girl getting so excited when he walked into our door and couldn't wait to pour his coffee! through the years he became part of our family. As he and my grandfather, (who just passed also), used to go Rattle snake hunting together.
Doug will be missed by so many people since he touched so many lives. He was a wonderful man.
