Vic,I was with heavy heart to read of Doug’s passing. Oh can I ever remember how many times he made me laugh while at Liverpool Regional High school. He always had his lunch box and thermos at break time. Doug took great pride in his hallway floors always had them shining. I guess that was part of him to make everything shine around him. My condolences R.I. P Doug.
