Douglas was a true outdoorsman who loved spending his time in nature. He was an avid wood-worker who took pride in his craft. Douglas was also a member of the Moose Lodge for 54 years, where he enjoyed playing darts and pool with his friends.
Douglas’ dedication to his work was evident in his 40-year career at Libby (Nestle). After retirement, Douglas still continued to work various jobs, always eager to stay busy.
