Doug was the son of Albert & Bertha Larsson of Turlock, CA where he was born and spent his childhood. He would say he “gave it a good run” for 67 great years.
After achieving his AA degree in Literature, he worked 13 years at Diamond International Lumber as the manager of the Galt, Ukiah and Lodi locations, and following he started his own company, Doors Plus in 1982 that he proudly ran for more than 30 years. An avid golfer, he was a member at Woodbridge Golf & Country Club for 25 years where he made many cherished friendships. His involvement in the community was also expressed through his membership with the Kiwanis Club and Odd Fellows of Lodi and the Rotary Club of Ukiah. He enjoyed frequenting Calvary Church and learning more of the richness of faith. In his retirement years, he and his wife split time between Lodi in the summers and Yuma, Arizona in the winters where they enjoyed being ‘snowbirds’ with a wonderful community of friends, making unforgettable memories together. Among his favorite interests were his R.C. planes, Jeep-ing, RV-ing and travel, rooting for the SF Giants, woodworking and family.
He is survived by his wife Susie, at his side for 37 years; his step-daughter Jennavave and her husband Barnaba; his step-son Doug, grand children Dominic, Natalie & Dillon and their mother, his daughter-in-law Christy; his older brother Gary; his younger brother Dennis and wife Tammi.
