Doug was a veteran of the United States Navy and had served during the Vietnam War. His dedication inspired his children to follow suit and joined the armed services as well.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation in Doug’s name be made to the Paws for Purple Hearts ( https://pawsforpurplehearts.org/ ). An organization that provides canine assisted therapy and service dogs for veterans and service members.
