Doug had been a member of the Eureka Church of the Nazarene.

He had worked as a Recreation Specialist for the Village of Rantoul for 25 years, retiring in 2007.  He last worked part time for Snyder Village in Metamora.

Doug loved his wife, children and grandchildren immensely.  He also dearly loved his church family.  The family takes comfort knowing that he is resting peacefully with his heavenly Father.
