He never missed an opportunity to attend events of all kinds supporting his children, grandkids, nieces and nephews. Doug was a "foodie" and enjoyed good meals with his family and friends. Doug will be greatly missed by his wife Maureen, son Jim (Ruth), 6 grandkids, 3 great grandkids, 4 sisters and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Jimmy and son Doug Jr. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, February 25th at Bethany Bible Church 6060 N. 7th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85015 at 2:00pm.
