My condolences to the family. Doug crossed my mind just last week. I asked my mother has she heard from him, he would occasionally just pop up at her house to say hello and check on us. My twin sister and I go way back with him to the chicken comer days. Been knowing him for years. Sure gonna miss you, Doug. Rest In Peace.
