I am sorry I will not be able to attend Doug's funeral. Down in LA stuck on some case work. I worked with Doug at CHP from the time he reported at the Altadena office until my retirement in 2011. Doug was one of the most positive, upbeat, do-anything guys I have ever known. Almost every time I would first see Doug he would have that big goofy grin and be ready with a funny story. He loved his family, his friends, his co-workers and the CHP, and we all loved him back. Taken too soon. I guess what we should take away is that we all need to try to be more like Doug, and appreciate the time we do have. RIP man, you are missed. Bob Koetting
