Doug was my next door neighbor. We weren't especially close but he was always so friendly and such a class guy. After high school he went on to take over his father's business, "Nu Art Memorials." It was so comforting to have him to go to when my wife and I needed a grave marker for our stillborn baby. He did a terrific job on it. Another classmate gone way too soon!
