After high school he was in the Air Force, and upon finishing his duty he relocated to Miami, Florida and attended college for landscape design. He soon moved back up to the Northeast and to Marion where his landscape company flourished. He had an eye for creating distinctive garden designs and displayed his work in the Boston Flower and Garden show. Doug had a brief stint with fame when he had a small role in the 2012 Chris Messina movie, Fairhaven (2012). He loved simple pleasures, having good food and a cold beer on his deck looking out to the river, listening to the Allman Brothers, watching college basketball, attending concerts in the area, tinkering in his yard, and reminiscing about his childhood summer days on Long Pond. He is the loving father of Kyle Menard and Jarrett Menard. Doting grandfather to Gavin Menard and Logan Menard. He is survived by his sisters, Claudia Warrington, Marilyn Watts, nieces, and countless friends and colleagues. Rifty-boo!

Doug was a wonderful landscaper and friend. We knew him for thirty years and he was a true artist for the garden.We will miss him very much. Maureen and Bill Hoye
So sorry I just found out that Doug passed. We were buddies in the Air Force and moved to Miami together to attend Mimi Dade Jr. College South Campus. We had many adventures together, some I would love to share with his family.
