Douglas Manning Waller of Seaford passed away peacefully on Monday, Nov. 23, 2020 at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania after a long and hard fought battle with heart disease.
He was born Dec. 22, 1962 in Seaford, a son of the late Manning V. Waller and June Spayd Waller.
Doug graduated from Seaford High School with the class of 1980. In his early days he worked at Burton Brothers, Skywatch and even worked as a carpenter. For the past 20 years he worked for Millwrights Local 219 where he had many duties working with precision machinery. He was an active member of the Seaford Elks Lodge.
Doug loved to travel and he looked forward to his annual trips to his favorite spot in Aruba. He enjoyed riding his Harley, farming, fishing and playing cards. He never met a stranger and had a special place in his heart for animals and pets.
