Truly one of our best friends ever. Doug was really a good Christian and showed his light to everyone he met. Never failed to tell everyone what was going on in his Christian life. He will be truly missed. We had many special times together. “Doug we are holding up our right hand” Joyce you know what we mean. Lots of love and our prayers are with you.
God Bless

We are so sorry to hear of Doug’s passing.
Doug and I worked together @ SKF for many years. I considered Doug a friend.
Olene and I went trailing riding with Doug and Joyce many times and we always
enjoyed those times.
Our prayers are with Joyce and family.
So sorry to hear about Doug. He is a special person – we’ve enjoyed our times with him and the joy he has brought to our family. He made coming to the lake very special. Joyce, you and your family, are in our prayers.
Joyce, our hearts are so heavy tonight. We have lost one of our transplant family. Doug was Don’s ‘hero’ and Don loved the stories he told at rehab. I don’t know of anyone more caring than the two of you. Stay strong and continue the life that Doug lived in your life.
Joyce, You know I love you and Doug with all of my heart. We went through some tough times together and both of you were always helpful to everyone. You guys are truly onderfdul friends and my life won’t be the same with this loss. I love you and Doug and klet me know if you ever need anything!! They simply don’t make many men like Doug. He was the Best!!
We are lifting you and your family up in prayer. Doug was a wonderful person and we loved spending time with him. From the time we met him he made us feel like family. I’m sure he is telling a funny story to someone in Heaven right now. We love you !
Joyce, our hearts are broken tonight as we hear of the loss of Doug. He was one of the most caring perso I have ever met; he was always there to help out someone in need at pulmonary rehab., to help place a mat down, get a towel, or stop to ask if you were okay; he was such a loving person and I will truly miss him. I enjoyed getting to know both of you more the past three months as we had the same appointments dates, and stayed at the same hotels, and dined together. I truly hope you know that if there’s ANYTHING that you need, you can always depend on us. Doug was a positive person and I know he would want you to know that he’s not suffering and wants you to stay strong and always remember he will always live FOREVER in your heart because you were his life as he was yours. We will miss him dearly, but will never forget this amazing person and dear friend. We love you, and will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Deepest Sympathy and prayers for your loss.
Joyce, we are sad tonight after hearing about Doug’s death. He was a special person who always made others feel special. We enjoyed his positive attitude. We will always remember him and his caring ways at the Center for Living at Duke. We have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Dear Joyce and family,
I was so very sad to hear today, of your tremendous loss. Doug was part of our lung transplant family at Duke and he will be dearly missed! I did not get to know you and Doug that well, but I could tell that Doug was a true gentleman, humble and caring. He always had words of encouragement for others at the CFL He had that friendly smile, and southern drawl that I loved! I am very, very sad. Doug is loved by the many people that he touched!
We are praying for all of you. Alex is still praying for you all just as he always does.
Doug’s life was filled with Christian Love both given and received. He will be missed.
We Love You!
Suzanne, Jeff, Matthew, Emily and Alex

Dear Joyce, We are so very sad to hear of Doug’s passing and remember only the love and laughter that he brought to CFL. We pray for your strength and faith during these very sad days. He will surely be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him. Love, Nancy and George
Our hearts are broken. The loss of my By-God Kentucky wonderful friend makes me very sad. Joyce, I know you will miss him dearly. He was such a wonderful person, so caring, so dedicated, and an inspiration to all. He was a definite inspiration for me and help me more than anyone one could imagine during our time at the Center for Living. Pat told me he came to see me in the Hospital while I was in ICU and still not awake. She said he stood at my door and cried. He was so special, and I will always remember him. He visited all our friends during their time in the hospital. We really loved Doug, and we love you Joyce. Be strong, keep your faith, and wonderful memories. I know that is what Doug would have wanted. Please keep in touch and if there is anything Pat and I can do for you, let me know. You and family are in our thoughts and prayers. I wish we could be there. God Bless You. Rollis and Pat
So sorry for your loss, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Joyce and Sue,
Please know you are in our prayers. My heart was so sadden to hear of Doug’s passing. But our spirits rejoice in knowing he is with Jesus, his Savior! Praise the Lord for Doug’s salvation and his Christian walk.
We love both of you ladies. If we can ever be of help, we are only a phone call away.
May the Lord give you comfort and strength.
Dear Joyce, You and Doug will always be at the top of our list of Special friends that we made at Duke while struggling through our rehab togrther. We have so many memories that will never fade of the tough times and the good times. I will never forget Doug and his jokes and smiling face as we struggled around the track, it helped to sustain me then and will continue to. Mary especially enjoyed getting to spend some time with you during those hours of waiting at the CFN for us to finish rehab for the day. And weren’t those dinners fun afterwords? Doug was such a special person to know and have as a friend. We will miss him greatly.
