"Doug and I met over 20 years ago and immediately formed a strong Home Inspector/Realtor bond. Throuogh the years, he became my "handsome" and I became his "egg lady" and we were great friends. He taught me many things about home inspecting and building homes and saved many buyers money by walking away from a "bad deal", especially during the "flip" years of real estate. He spoke often of his love for Gail and the debt he owed his mother. He often said he would never tell his mom "no" as that was the deal he made with his sponsor. He wore his ring proudly and shared his experiences proudly with anyone that would listen. His life was not easy, and he shared the good and bad for others to learn from. I still can't believe I won't hear his laugh anymore or see his truck pull up to a house for an inspection that should take 2 hours but will last four. Handsome is gone, but forever in my heart."
