It is with a very heavy heart I write this. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. Doug's life should be celebrated as he was a wonderful man. He and I worked together at Arthur Gary School of Real Estate. He was a tremendous guy and was such an asset to our school. He was a man you could always count on. We all thought the world of him and he will be very missed. Michele Meadows, Instrutor, Arthur Gary School,of Real Estate
