William and myself will miss Doug, he was always positive and uplifting, He loved his church and his friends, and we loved him.
A real gentleman and a wonderful neighbor for 20 plus years. My wife Sheila worked with Doug at Rockwell and always had fond memories of him too.

I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I hope the words found at Revelation 21:4 brings comfort.
Please accept my deepest and sympathy. May the God who binds up the broken-hearted comforts all who mourn, sustain your family during this challenging time.(Isaiah 61: 1,2.)
Doug You were the best neighbor anyone could possibly ask for! I was blessed to have you as friend for almost 29 years! You were Such an easy person to love, One of those people that never met a stranger and treated everyone equal! I’m sure many will remember you for the Good Man you were,! I sure will miss your witty little jokes, teasing people then laughing (you had a great laugh) Whistling for Gretchen, ( the mockingbirds copied your whistle to a t and when they sang that whistle it always made me smile! ) You also shared some of the best vegetables around! You never quit working, you said you wouldn’t and you didn’t! I hope heaven has a pretty little garden for you to work! Kinda glad you don’t have to work in that darn driveway anymore! Rest now in Peace my friend!
Doug, I’m so glad you touched my life. I will truly miss you. Teresa
