    Anne – You know how much dad and Doug toodled around town and fixed so many things together. I loved teasing Doug and his banter back and forth was so much fun! My sincerest sympathy to you and Blair and the rest of your family. Love, Sharon

    To Anne and the rest of the family:

    I would like to express my deepest sympathies upon Doug’s sudden and untimely passing.

    As a friend and a colleague for over 20 years, Doug has gained my respect and my admiration as a professional and as a person who knew what was important in life – his family and friends.

    I’ll miss him deeply.

    To Anne and the rest of the family:

    Janet and I will miss his friendship while I will particularly miss the fatherly concern he always had for my career, life and health.

    I am deeply saddened by your loss but know that he has made a large impact to those that mattered-his family and friends.

    I will forever hold our Fish and Chip experiences in memory and cherish my work life with him.
