After achieving his Auto Mechanic Associates degree, he joined his father at Liermann’s Standard Service.

Doug was devoted to his family and his many friends. He was a very giving person. Some of his favorite things were fishing, deer hunting, playing cards, classic hot rods, NHRA racing, Husker football and volleyball. All things that could be done with his family or friends made his day. One of his biggest blessings in his life was his partner, Karen. Together they had many happy and fun filled days. He will be profoundly missed.
