Such a warm heart. I miss you already, but I promise to keep smiling and laughing at all the good memories. Like the hot dog picture - good thing we didn't have cell phone cameras or FB back then or that thing would have went viral :). Give Dad and everyone else a big hug from Earth. Love and miss ya forever.

So very sorry and I send hugs to all of you! As a neighbor that shared over the fence and driveway cheers and conversations, Doug was the guy with the smile on his face, a helping hand and fireworks to set off! He kept the kids in line and was an all around kind and generous soul. You are in my thoughts and prayers..... Lisa Zimmerman (and Alex)
