He was employed as a truck driver for 30-plus years and retired from Champion Moving & Storage in Brockport.

He was a member of the Sons of the American Legion, Butt-Clark Post #204 and a social member of the VFW Lincoln Post #1483.
Doug was an avid card player, especially euchre, and he also enjoyed hunting and fishing. For many years, Doug was the team leader for the annual Diabetes Walk that was held in Batavia, where he and his wife team raised money for the Amereican Diabetes Association. Fundraising and giving to others were things that Doug enjoyed. He loved fishing so much that he organized an annual fishing derby at Glenwood Lake in Medina. The proceeds each year were shared between Kendall and Medina food pantries. Doug started each year in January collecting prizes for the derby. At that time, he was still an over-the-road truck driver. At each stop that had any fishing gear, Doug was asking for a donation. and he was extremely successful. He continued this event until he could no longer organize it due to health reasons.
