Just heard the terrible news from another member today .
Very sad to hear I meet Doug when I held the very first meet n greet /coal tour in 2008.
We became coal and boiler buddies ever since I had him over my house several times .
And every time he would come thru my area we would try and get together .

I introduced him to many members and to many coal suppliers boiler and stove manufacturer.
We always had a grate time together. I will miss you buddy.
My you always watch the blue laddies dance.
My deepest condolences go out to your Family .

Just heard the sad news about Doug. I had the opportunity to get to know
Doug for a bit when he installed out EFM. I have to say he's a hard worker, but more
Importantly was a honest good guy. It was a shocker to hear the news as I was going to
Reach out to say hi. My thoughts are with Doug and his family. It was an honor to meet you and
Spend some time with you. May you rest in peace.
