Doug was born in Palo Alto April 28, 1951, and died February 15 - at the age of 66 - from ALS at the Redmond Rehabilitation Center in Redmond.

He was the vice president of the Band of Brothers for a short time until his illness. He loved the Band of Brothers and was with them most every Wednesday at Takoda's, or the American Legion. He loved the various volunteer jobs around here in Sisters. He missed his service when he became ill.

He was an avid bicycle enthusiast and an expert in weaponry.

He and his wife celebrated their 30th anniversary September 5, 2017. He was a train conductor for Amtrak for 22 years, and had lots of colorful stories. He loved hiking and was a bit of a history buff. He will be sorely missed.
