He graduated from Ashland High School in 1966. Doug lived in Ashland his entire life, with the exception of time served with the United States Navy. He w as proud to have been on the USS Hornet and USS Kittyhawk and was part of the recovery missions of Apollo II and Apollo 12. Doug was happy to uphold his civic duties and took pride in his participation as both the Supervisor of the Checklist and as a Budget Committee member for the Town of Ashland for many years. He also enjoyed being an active member of the Ashland Baptist Church serving on the Boards of Trustees and Deacons and he particularly enjoyed singing in the church choir. Doug was currently worshiping the Lord at the Fountain of Life Church in Weirs Beach where he found a lot of love, comfort and support. Doug worked for the State of New Hampshire Department of Transportation Bridge Maintenance crew for over 30 years. He enjoyed going on Sunday drives with his family and showing them some of the bridges he worked on over the years. In retirement he very much enjoyed his time spent working for the Town of Ashland transfer station and the Green Grove Cemetery but his favorite post retirement "job" by far was snow removal for many Ashland residents using his blue Ford tractor. Doug felt most at home and was the happiest when he was with family, whether it was on the family farm that he grew up on, holiday dinners, family cookouts, reunions or an occasional sleigh ride.
