From Maine to Florida and everywhere in between.

Doug’s greatest joy was his family. He was completely devoted to Laura, the love of his life. Together, they shared countless memories, including trips to Wildwood, New Jersey, a place that always held a special spot in their hearts. His love and dedication never wavered, he never missed a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or opportunity to celebrate those he loved.
