I grew up across the street from Doug and remember many good times.
Doug taught me how to light matches so I could smoke with the boys, Those were the days.
I'm so sorry for your loss I did not know Doug as a "grown-up" but he was a great friend in my childhood.

We were very sorry to hear of Doug's passing. We held our 50th class reunion in May over Memorial Day weekend and knew Doug could not attend. He was a great classmate, true friend, and a funny guy who kept things light for all of us. On behalf of the Class of 1968 Reunion Committee we send our condolences.
