Your stories, your vast and varied knowledge on so many topics, and most of all, that amazing smile will be so missed.  After your final brave and courageous final battle, may you rest comfortably now in Eternal peace. 
Our deepest condolences to Candace, Zak, Allison, brother Billie, and the entire family. You will live on in our hearts and memories. 

Aunt Max and Ron

Doug on the summit of Mt Hood, May of 1994. When we were within about 800’ of the summit, he laid against the mountain and proceeded to tell me he was afraid of heights. I said, this is a great time to tell me this.  He couldn’t move, wouldn’t go up or down. After about 15 or 20 minutes he finally moved. Great man, good heart and as my dad would say, he was a good egg.

So many memories.  A life gone too soon.  Our sincere sympathies.  He will be missed.  He always had time for a conversation (although they weren't often) and it seems he could talk for hours.  He was one of the good ones.
