I was fortunate to work with Doug, he always took time to share his knowledge of Parts and Service to enhance my ability to help other Managers in dealerships. Doug never hesitated to reach out and help anyone that required assistance. His sense of humor and outgoing personality will be missed. The thoughts and prayers of myself and my family are with Peggy and the Greco family at this most difficult time.

I got the pleasure of working with Doug while I worked at DaVita. He also came in with a smile on his face. He was the sweetest man. I know he will be missed dearly.

Doug was my best friend in high school and I consider him a lifelong friend! Doug was honest, straightforward, loyal, funny and kind. We did not see each other for a year or two at a time, but when we would see Doug and Peggy the friendship would pick up right where we left off with some laughs and warm friendship! We were able to see Doug recently at the hospital and he was sitting up in a chair, was so alert and we had a wonderful visit with Doug and Peggy for more than two hours! It was a day that I will always remember! With continued prayers for Peggy, Jennifer and Jackie, we love you!!!❤️❤️❤️
