This obituary is absolutely accurate. Yes, it is always nice to say nice things but, Doug positively lived every day in a manner that made us all proud to know him.
Doug and Gay exemplified practicing Christians. They look past what is expedient or popular and dive into what is necessary to aid their fellow humans serving with dignity, honesty and sincere compassion.
Our hearts are so broken by this loss that we cannot find the words to describe the feeling.
I first met Doug (and Gay) in
1973 when we both worked as volunteers helping victims of a tornado in Kentucky. I was immediately drawn to him and his warmth.
Doug was passionate about helping people in need as a beloved volunteer for Humane Borders in Tucson. He was instrumental in setting up one of our lifesaving water stations near the Arizona/Mexico border. He will be remembered for his compassion and selflessness in a world that needs more good deeds. My sincere sympathies to his loved ones. Laurie Cantillo, Board Chair, Humane Borders
