I met Doug through our Club (NPRC). He was a great asset to our club. He always had with him, with a big smile and a welcome greeting for everyone. He volunteered regularly to lend a hand when work was required at our range. Doug will always be remembered in our conversations. God Bless. Don.
So very sorry for your loss Debbie and family. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sending our love to the whole family. I fondly remember Doug and how kind he was (even in the earliest wee hours of the coldest winter mornings) My parents would drop my brother and I off to wait for school. Doug would always have an interesting story or wisdom about life to share. A wonderful man I’m so thankful to have known during my teen years. Rest in peace.
