We are so sorry to hear of Doug’s passing. He became our step brother after our dad, Stanley Murdock married his mom, Carol. Dad & Carol enjoyed hybridizing dayliles and going to daylily conventions. We enjoyed getting together for birthdays and holidays and when Lindsey joined us one year at a daylily convention. Doug was always available for legal advice especially when our brother Mark needed help. He was very kind and will be missed.

I "met" Doug only this year - and then only virtually. We worked together on a project for his client and mine. He was a pleasure to work with and to talk to. I'm sorry we never met in person.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
