Doug will be remembered for the love of his family, his dog, Peaches, his red truck, and for his many friends, each with a story to tell of a life well lived, a friend to all.
He enjoyed the outdoors and loved to capture his world in pictures whether it be loved ones, wildlife, serene sunsets, scenery, or the wondrous sky above. He had an eye for detail. He also loved music, collecting model trains, and enjoyed fixing just about anything.
He worked at Dekalb Seed Company (Monsanto) for most of his adult life, alongside his dad for part of it. He used his considerable gifts and talents to serve his hometown, Tuscola. He was a member of the Moose Lodge and was a former owner of Bradley’s Light and Sound. He graduated from a technical school in Florida, but most of all, he was a proud alum of TCHS, Class of 1974.
