My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this sad time. Doug was a wonderful man, he was one of my colleagues at H&V. What ever I needed or a question answered he would be quick to help. He will be missed by all who have known him. Rest in Peace Doug
I have wonderful memories of Doug as a young boy and as an adult. He was a tremendous son and faithful family man to his parents, his wife, Missy and son, Joe. A good friend to all who knew him. He can now rest in peace with his dad and maybe have a beer together again. God Bless you all.
Our thoughts are with the family in this time of sorrow. We didn’t know Doug but and all indications are that he was a very good person. Perhaps he’s in a better place. May he Rest In Peace and may his family find peace also.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Melissa!!!
