I first worked with Doug back in 2004 as a temp at General Motors. He was one of the first people to make me feel like I belonged at GM. He was a great person to work alongside, and even though we never see each other outside of work, I can easily say he was my friend. My sincere condolences go out to his family and anyone that knew him, we lost a good one. R.I.P. friend.
