We met Doug & Terry at the Gun and Knife Shows. (We have the 3rd Gear booth.) Both Doug and Terry never met a stranger. Doug has endured so much but always maintained an upbeat and positive attitude about all of it. He is not suffering anymore and is with our Lord. Terry and family, always remember the wonderful memories of this wonderful man. Our hearts and prayers go out to you. Love, Jim and Sharon
