There are a variety of things that Doug is remembered for by many of us at GRHV. Who can forget seeing his awesome car parked out back, his many cool skeleton themed shirts, his great sense of humor, or his long hair and mustache? Doug will be remembered fondly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. God Bless!

Karen, we know there are no words to dull the ache only God can do that so we are praying for you. It's been a long time since Doug lost Dug in the woods by our cottage. Praying Sammy is now leading him the right way. With love in our broken hearts. May God be with you always.

Our hearts are heavy at this difficult time but your legend will live on Uncle Dug! We all have our faults but I think I can speak for all of us, Uncle Dug was seriously the NICEST most CARING man to all of us. He was always the one behind the camera taking pictures of everyone when we weren't paying attention! Capturing those special moments and memories of family. We all love you so much and it's hard that all of this happened so unexpectedly!
