Eric’s granddaughter wrote this about here grandfather I wanted to share with you all. His business was Douglas and company in Springfield Tennessee.

I deeply regret to share with you all that our owner, founder, pit master, and the heart and soul of Douglas and Company, Eric Douglas, has passed. To allow Eric’s family and employees the space needed to process this, Douglas and Company will be closed beginning today, Thursday, September 24, and will reopen on Monday, September 28.

For many years, I have written posts to you all as a representative of Douglas and Company. Today, I write to you all as a granddaughter. Eric, my Pawpaw, took immense pride in the role he and his business have held in Robertson County for nearly 30 years. He poured all of himself into Douglas and Company, and it is evident from the legacy he has left in our small town. For many of you, you likely still refer to us as Douglas Amoco, because you have a history and memories tied to this business from years back.

I know that so many of you will share in the grief of my family because Eric was also part of your family through the meals you shared inside the store and the holiday meals you shared around your family table. We all deeply thank you for providing the type of customer support that small business owners dream of. You, the customers, allowed my grandfather’s dream to come to fruition.

In remembrance of my grandfather, I ask that you all pause today and share a meal with someone you love. My grandfather communicated his love and care through his cooking, something that extends beyond my family and into hundreds of families in Robertson County. In the busy lives we lead, may we never forget the power in stopping to share a meal, a moment, and to enjoy the presence of those we care about.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding. Our doors will reopen on Monday. We can’t wait to welcome you back in to honor the legacy of Eric Douglas.No

Eric was a friend and a great joker and he will be missed. I always tried to see him when in Tennessee. RIP my friend.
