Doug was always a good big brother. He was 8 years older than me. I remember him as a teenager always into go-karts, hot rods, & motorcycles. He never did grow out of that. I also remember once when I was 8 that I fell off a fence and got cut up pretty bad. Doug was the only one home. He scooped me up and took me to the doctors clinic. He was always my hero for being there for me. I miss you bro.

One of the warm and special things that I will always remember about Dug was his laugh and the way his face would light up when he smiled.He was just on loan to us, but has now been called home. How fortunate for each and every one of us to have had him in our lives.
