Doug volunteered during the Vietnam War and his career lasted through Desert Storm and he retired during Iraqi Freedom. His second career was at the Newark Post Office for over 20 years also where he was a sorter.
He loved fishing, especially bass and in fresh water ponds along with his truck that got him to those fishing holes.

Lenard, Jr. (Ann). He is also preceded in death by his brother Robert.
