Our condolences are with the family during this time of sorry.
I was saddened to learn about Douglas’ passing. We worked together on the spillway for the dam at Lake Anna in the summer of 1970 before I went into the Air Force.
Doug and I worked in different capacities at Bear Island Paper for many years. I have seen Doug so covered in fly ash you could only see the whites of his eyes but he never was a quitter. He largely put up with me which many people will affirm was a mark of a good man. My Condolences to the family.
