Gone from this world too soon at the age of 58. Linda and Doug were inseparable, so it was appropriate that he passed away with Linda by his side. He lived every moment as a devoted husband, brother, father, and grandfather. Doug is survived by his parents, Roger and Toni (nee Smetak), his loving wifeContinue Reading

I worked with Doug in the VAMC IR for 2 years. He was fun to work with, very good at his job and fit in well as a team member. We both served in the 128th ANG, although at a different time. My thoughts and prayers to his wife and family and to those he worked with in the IR. May God grant him eternal rest.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My deepest condolences to Linda, their boys, and the rest of the family. I got to know Doug when he was on a trip to Shanghai, China, back in 2018, accompanying Linda when she came out to teach an intensive course. Having a Chinese banquet with many unknown dishes, Doug was willing to try it all with gusto - his adventurous spirit was on display! His support of, and love for, Linda in being with her on her first trip to China was so evident, as well. Though we will all miss him, we will remember him so fondly.

Linda, I only met Doug once, helping us move stuff to start Sonography program. My thought at the time was; Wow, this guy gives his time for his wife's programs (not to mention Lisa and mine). There must have been a strong bond. I know your loss is unimaginable and I feel for you. I will offer thoughts and prayers but I will also offer the knowledge that you are a strong, caring and wonderful human being. That, you and Doug must have shared. - Marc

My thought and prayers go out to the Samuel family. Doug was an amazing person. He made our little group complete when we were in xray school. My favorite memories were at Symposium. Always so much fun to be around. The love he had for his family was truly unconditional. You will be missed. God has another angel to watch over us all.
