    There are no words to express the hole Doug has left in our hearts. He was a great guy that loved his beers at the Candlelight. Many a laugh were had at that place just hanging with the guys! You will be missed in more ways than you could ever have imagined.
    RIP dear friend.

    Sherri – We didn’t know Doug for very long but when we heard you talk of him and when we met him we could tell that he made you happy. It was a sad day when we heard that he was ill and now that he is gone it is difficult for you. We send our regrets and want you to know that we are nearby for you.
