My sincere condolences to the family. Doug rode the DAV van that I drove to Salem on numerous occasions. Of course I knew him long before that. We always got along great. RIP bro.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure to work with Doug at C.R.Hudgins many moons ago. We would bump heads then be ok. He was a real joker. He use to call me Fridget Bridget. I'm sorry again for your loss and the family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
