Doug and I sang in three barbershop quartets together from the Arlington Goodtimes Chorus. We competed in several quartet contests, performed on many chorus shows, and even sang on a televised Christmas show. He was a wonderful friend and I truly will miss him.
Thoughts & prayers to the family. Doug was such a good hearted happy person. Always smiling.

Doug was such a special man. He took part of my heart with him. I will miss him.
Cindy and Jonathan,
When I spoke with another colleague from CFW this afternoon, I learned of Doug’s passing. As Doug would have mentioned to you, I left CFW in 2017.
I send you my heartfelt condolences and shall be praying for you. Please feel free to email me.
