I also have known Doug for about 20+ years. We both worked at Mare Island when M.I. was full of life in our young twenties. I can't remember the last time I saw Doug but I can remember when his son was born. He was a proud Dad. It's unreal that he has passed. My prayers are with all of his family and especially his son at this very sad time.

I have known Doug for probably 25 years, I was in his wedding and he was in mine. The last time I saw Doug was at my moms funeral. When I think of Doug, I remember some fun times that we had. My prayers are with all of his family.
