Sue and Family Doug was my friend, He was the D.L. tester back in the  60's n 70's  I was in Sylacauga Law enforcement until 1979  and worked with him in Security later at the news mill. He was a good person and never forgot you, the last time I saw him he was with his grandbaby and he was as happy as he could be pushing the stroller. Rest in Peace, Doug, you made a difference

I remember Doug gave me my driver's test.  Also remember Doug when I was growing up.  This man could put the fear of the Lord into you in a second.  He was a great man and I know young men growing up around us had a great respect for him.  God did gain a special person the day he left us.  God speed Doug.

Sue, please accept my condolences, and those of our B B Comer Class of 1958. Doug was always such a sweet and loyal member of our class through the years. We will miss him and hold his memory close in our hearts.

Many fond memories of Doug’s younger days 60s/70s etc., And his dad “J” at the river below Lay dam.  Our dad Dwight Reynolds was one of JPs many fishing friends,  so we as youthful saw him really often. Doug was a fine servant ✔️🙏

I’m so sorry to hear about Doug passing. Doug was a very sweet man. My dad (Lester Nickolson) worked with him in law enforcement and he said he was highly respected and there wasn’t anyone that didn’t like him. I pray that you find peace and comfort in the days ahead and that the Lord wraps his arms around you and you feel the love and warmth. 

We are saddened to hear about Doug.....we have so many good memories of our times together,,,,,,,good food and plenty of laughs...a great family
