Earlier this month we lost another great person to COVID-19.

Doug was best know for his kindness and gentle nature. He was like a second father to me growing up. I was best friends with his son Scott so I spent a great deal of my younger years in their home. As a kid I saw him as just “my friends dad”. Looking back, he was more than that. He always encouraged us to be good and was never too harsh when Scott and I get into a little mischief. The little lessons he taught me all added up to life lessons that helped make me into the person I am today.

He will be greatly missed not only by me, but the large loving family that he leaves behind.

Thank you Doug.
