Doug was an expert wood worker and he enjoyed working in his shop and taking care of his yard. While taking a break from those activities he enjoyed watching Patrick Mahomes, Fox News (with the volume cranked up) and was a strong supporter of President Trump.

Dad was known for his willingness to share his talents, experiences, and knowledge with others. He loved to make food and furniture as gifts for loved ones, friends and neighbors. His legacy will live on through those pieces for generations to come.
