Doug had a love for sports, Chicago Blackhawks being his favorite Hockey team and the Yankees was the baseball favorite. He had a passion for Rag doll cats who also had a love for him. One living to be 21 years old. If he isn't working in the yard or enjoying art festivals or spending time with family, you will always find him driving around in his corvette. There is a deep whole in our family but we know we will see him again. We love and miss you Doug
