Doug’s greatest love and joy is his wife, Sandy, and all of his family and dear friends. Later in life, Doug found his faith and embraced the Lord. He volunteered at church, where he helped others. Doug was a man of all trades, and there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. He was great working with his hands, enjoyed working on things, and fixing things. If Doug couldn’t fix it, it simply couldn’t be fixed.
