Doug was also involved with the Cursillo movement. He loved listening and dancing to French music, especially when his dad would play the accordion. He enjoyed and appreciated the outdoors and loved camping and fishing. He and his wife loved to go to friend's houses and play the game "Aggravation". He will be remembered for loving to dress in his black cowboy hat and his boots.  Doug was a hard-worker and worked diligently to provide for his family.
