Doug was a well loved man; he was a hard worker and loved his family and music. He was an incredible musician and passed that passion on to his grandson Gabriel. He loved to travel, and loved adventure, which he also enjoyed sharing with his family.

He will be missed by so many people. He was loved by family and friend from the East Coast to the West Coast. If Doug could capture his feelings for his family and friends it would be “In My Life, I’ve Loved You More.”
