Doug worked for W.P. Dickerson as a bridge builder for 4 years and at Bethlehem Steel as a welder for 12 years. He found peace and joy in the outdoors, whether he was casting a line on the water or spending time hunting in the woods with his dogs that he loved so much. He appreciated the simple moments life had to offer. Fishing and hunting were more than hobbies to him. They were traditions, memories and a way of life he proudly shared with family and friends. He also loved to ride his scooter and talk to everyone, even strangers. Doug loved his family and friends. He was a steady presence, a source of wisdom, knowledge, humor, a story teller and gave unconditional love. His home and heart were always open and memories he created with those he loved will be treasured forever. He was a member of the Old Bethel Church, Markleton. Friends will be received from 3-8 PM Tuesday at the Humbert Funeral Home in Confluence. A funeral service will be held at 12 PM Wednesday in the Old Bethel Church with Pastor Duane Riddle officiating. Interment will follow in Kingwood IOOF Cemetery. There will be viewing at the church one hour prior to the service.
