Doug will be missed by many here in the Wiregrass. He was loved by those that attended his AARP driver’s safety courses and all of those that Doug helped during his years of selling insurance as well as many other friends that have crossed his path through the years. Carol said “I finally met my soul mate only to have him taken away in such a short time. The time we spent together will always be the best years of my life.”
