Doug was my father-in-law. I have known only a few men of his quality. Over the last many years of hurricane and flood destruction, he was always there, helping and working like a dog. I can probably count on one hand the days we worked when he was not there. He and Linda are two of the finest people I have ever known and I am so grateful to be a member of the family.
