Doug loved golfing, travelling, cooking, camping, being outdoors, and laughing with his friends and family. He also enjoyed the history channel and reading sports autobiographies. Doug’s most memorable vacation was the family’s most recent vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in 2018, where they got to go fishing, swimming, and spend time in the sun.
