Doug was a very sweet guy, he worked for my father Richard Paul on various occasions and was always quick with that famous smile of his and always cracking jokes. You will be missed Doug…..gone but not forgotten.
Sorry is a small word, but am sorry for your loss Drake and Colleen
My condolences to Doug’s family. I had the opportunity to go visit him in Maine a couple months ago, before he came back home to Mass, and I will remember those two days always. Doug was someone to be remembered; his laughing at his own jokes, and his sometimes demented sense of humor. He was loved by many here in Massachusetts and has left a hole in all of our lives. R.I.P. Doug from Tom and I.
Dear Drake family, The Mooar family keeps you in our heartfelt thoughts and prayers.
