Messages of Condolence

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Doug. I was working along side Doug on Friday afternoon. Doug worked with us at Duckering's for the past couple of years. He was an excellent operator with a great sense of humor and related to our customers exceptionally well. Always at work early in the morning and stayed until the job was done. Always willing without complaint to do what needed to be accomplished. Doug was "old school" and we appreciated it! Everyone here will miss his work but we will also miss the man that was Doug. My most sincere thoughts and prayers to Pam and family. Rick Russell, Duckering's International Freight Services Inc.
