his family at Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice in Sheboygan Falls. He was born on November

Doug worked at Quantum Spatial for 12 years as a Senior Airborne Sensor Systems Operator. He loved
his family and enjoyed camping at his seasonal site at Plymouth Rock Campground, walking, working out
and going to the races at Road America. He enjoyed taking trips with his wife, especially to Key West. It
was a place they dreamed of retiring to one day. He loved having his sons over for cook outs and family
time. He traveled quite a bit for work, to almost all of the states, and enjoyed working with his flight
crew. Doug was a red wine enthusiast and even made a few of his own at one point. He also loved his
truck and enjoyed having modifications done to it.
