Albert Douglas Winchester Jr.

Doug was such a special man and role model. He gave so generously to all those in his life. His heart was kind and his love was deep. Doug’s optimism and perseverance through all of life’s challenges made him the hero he is today. As a member of First Baptist Indian Trial Church, Doug loved the Lord and faithfully served the Lord. Doug attended North Carolina State University before beginning his fulfilling career with the Hendrick Automotive Group. Doug had a loving work family and was always loyal to his work. Doug loved spending time with his family and friends. Traveling to the beach, gardening, golfing, and bowling were some of his favorite pastimes.
