Doug enjoyed playing golf in his younger years and he was an all around sports fan watching all sports when he could, especially football. He looked forward to meeting his "coffee friends" many mornings. He loved his family, especially his nephews, and he loved spending time with all his family and friends. Doug will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
