Doug worked as a truck driver most of his career for Moore Mill Lumber Company until he went into business for himself and eventually retired. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and most of all his grandkids, Kady Valentine and Briana Valentine. He got some of his greatest pleasure out of hunting with his granddaughter, Kady and talking animals with Briana. He could catch a fish in a mud puddle and was a deadly shot with a .30-.30 lever action. His heart was always with his family in Virginia.
