Sincerely condolences to the whole family at this sad time. I have many wonderful memories of conversations with Doug that included lots of stories and laughter. His love of people was always obvious. He will certainly be missed but will leave numerous treasured moments in the memories of those left.
Pop, you were a giant man in my eyes, in stature and in personality. I will forever miss your mischievous smile. I will miss you. Until we meet again, farewell legend!
Gone from our lives but never from our hearts.
