I only recently learned of Doug's passing. I worked with Doug at Ker Termite and Pest Control. We spent many hours rejoicing in the Lord as we worked and even had a couple of occasions to share with others our faith in Christ.

I was saddened to learn of Doug's passing. I knew him years ago as a fellow musician at Charity Chapel church in Grover City (now Grover Beach). We had recently reconnected on facebook. He was a genuine talent and always kind. My condolences to his family and friends.

We have been friends of Doug since grade school, and recently we had been reconnected through Facebook when he moved to Paris, Arkansas last year. He blessed us with his inspirational posts, and pictures of his new house snd little dog Bosco. We are at a loss now, there is a giant hole that he used to fill, and boy it is true that you don’t miss the water until the well runs dry. Blessings to his family and I know we will meet again in Paradise as Doug described it.

I’ve known Doug since kindergarten. He was a graduate of Arroyo Grande High School class of 1969. He was well loved by his classmates and I know we are feeling his loss. My condolences to his family. Rest In Peace my friend. You are missed. You have touched the lives of many and have more than earned your wings.
