I had the honor of knowing Doug sense I was 18 when I started working at the plant. He took me under his wing so to speak. He taught me evrythng I know about running heavy equipment. He was the Best operator there is in my opinion. He was a true friend to me. I will never forget him. Doug was as good a man as iv ever had the pleasure of knowing. His memory will be with me always and my prayers with the family
