My sincere condolences to you and your family. The picture of Doug is perfect; that is the way I will remember him with that smile on his face. I have known and worked with Doug for 33 years; I know I will miss him dearly.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. To say that Doug was a great guy to all who knew him doesn’t do him justice. My children loved their Uncle Doug just as much as they loved his daddy, Pop Pop. Doug was the epitome of his dad: Such a big heart – such a big hearty laugh. I pray his family, children, grandchildren, sisters and friends will always remember those hearty laughs of his and soon be able to smile when they take a walk down memory lane. He would want us all to remember him that way, I believe. My family will miss him but he will always live in our hearts with that great big smile and hearty laugh.
God Bless You, Doug.

I was very sad to see Doug picture and write up in the newspaper of his passing. I was a very small part of Doug’s childhood. I babysat him and Mary Beth and Anne Louise and Sharon when these children were very small and lived with their Mom and Dad on Orange Street many, many years ago. I recall the passing of Doug’s own father when he was very young and how it affected Doug. I knew his Mother, Julianne when she carried his sisters and I am sorry I never knew Doug as an adult but I never forgot him or his family. I hope you show this write up to his sisters and Mother and maybe they will recall my name. This death really hit me hard. When you start seeing someone you saw as a child go before you do…it is so difficult. I was happy to see Doug married and raised a nice family and I hope his wife and children will remember him the way he always made you smile.
