He will be remembered for his love for his family, big smile, athletic ability, Publisher’s Clearing House, and his newspaper.

My uncle Doug was a great man in my eyes based on what he meant to our family. When my father moved to Chicago. Uncle Doug would come by the house and I would hang out with him. He would talk to me about getting an education, not to be afraid of hard work. My uncle stronly believed in exercise. He would run down the street in combat boots. In fact, he was in top shape deep into his 70s, he was ageless, in fact the last time I
saw him was 12/2022. when I saw him he looked at me and give me the smile that light up a room. Iam thankful to have an uncle like him. I will pass it forward. I will learn how to be a blessing to my family life like he was for me. l love you uncle say hello to my mother
and father.
Dear Khary, Phyllis, Mark and Tammi
My deepest condolences on the loss of your Dad. May Our Heavenly Father envelope you all in His love and mercy during this time.
Much love,
Allison (Johannesburg, South Africa)
