Doug, Dain Rupert & I used to pal around a lot in the early 80's. Doug did not drink so he was the one who told Dain & I what actually transpired the night before ... :-) Pretty funny stuff ... sorry his story is ending too soon ... rest in Peace Doug ...

Bruce & Family,
So sorry to hear of Doug's passing. He was a sweet soul. Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours though and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. He is now at peace.
