Devoted great-grandfather of Tara, Tommy, Claire, Charlotte, Rorik, Sophia, Ava and Julianna. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. Douglas was an elevator mechanic and he loved his job, though it didn’t feel like a job to him. He enjoyed going to work every day especially working on the elevators at Cooper Hospital. He also loved working on his homes in Deptford and Daytona Beach and they were magnificent! He built these homes alongside his beautiful wife of 67 years. In the Deptford home we had horses and his pool was shaped like Lazy L, in the opposite direction of the house. Because he had different ideas, thoughts and visions that would come together in the most unique way. He not only liked to work on his home but help others with their homes anything that was needed, he would be there to lend a hand. He was a “doer” for his family, his friends, and at work. He was proud of his service in the National Guard and maintained lifelong friendships with the National Guard, his Bellmawr Clown football team, his fellow elevator constructors and his Haddon Twp. High School classmates. He was so proud of his family and friends of their accomplishments and supported them with all of his heart!!! He never stopped working after he retired. He continued building and was happy to be a big part in building the funeral home. He was most proud of his son starting his elevator company. He loved and was very devoted and proud of his entire family; his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by all. His family will cherish so many great memories.
