Doug was one of the really "good guys" and will be sadly missed. He loved coaching baseball and working w/kids. His players always seemed to be able to respond to his guidance and direction. I always enjoyed competing against his teams & talking baseball w/ him. I will miss his quick wit & dry sense of humor. My condolences to his family in their time of need. Please put them in your prayers.

Doug was a great coach and friend to me and to many of the youth baseball players in the area. He devoted many hours to coaching not only the Cardinals but to many recreation league teams. He will be sorely missed.
