Doug’s huge open heart made it easy for many to have a conversation. Very few places Doug would go that he didn’t run into someone he knew.  Doug was always fond of the water.  Swimming was his passion, boating, water skiing, jet skiing and of course fishing.  Doug excelled at all things mechanically.  Whether it was building structures, mechanical rooms, working on vehicles/trucks, he also enjoyed cooking, almost as much as eating.  We will miss our beloved Doug; you can always count on Doug to GET-R-DONE.
