In the past he has worked for Martin Brothers Trucking, Bourdeau Brothers, Inc., Albany Transport and Harrison Concrete.

Doug will also be missed by our very special friends, the Bourdeau family and the Longway family. Doug was predeceased in death by his father, Kenneth Wimble.
Doug touched many lives while he was with us. Doug enjoyed camping with his kids in our camper and he also enjoyed spending time in his garage tinkering with whatever project he was working on. Doug was an avid follower of NASCAR and loved to cheer on his favorite driver, Jeff Gordon. The family would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff at Northwestern Medical Center and Vermont Center for Cancer Medicine. We would also like to extend special thanks and appreciation to the concierge service at NMC who made Dougs time in the hospital happier and who was a wonderful comfort to us. A finally a special thank you to the Franklin County Home Health Agency - Hospice Program for the loving care provided to Doug.
