I worked with Doug at Consolidated Freightways. He was a delight and the nicest person ever. We would occasionally see each other at our local Fred Meyer store. Always enjoyed our impromptu visits. Rest In Peace Doug. You deserve it.
We love this man. Alta, as we talked, the other day, He was the Best Christmas Tree salesman around. He would deliver to our door - the girls loved this. They even enjoyed his Christmas visits when we didn't get a tree. My dad and he hit it off quite well also. We won't mention The Club that we all visited on one of their trips out here but Doug and Dad had a good time. Alta, we shared happy times! Our prayers are with All of You! XOOX Jim and Pat Hoag
It was the greatest honor and blessing to know Doug, and to have been his neighbor for more than 25 years. He was a very fine Gentleman. We will miss him dearly.
