I think of you Doug every time I drive down Shamrock Avenue. The fun we had as kids playing ball in the street will always be a cherished memory for me. Rest well well my friend.

My deepest sympathy to the family. It has been a long time but I do remember Doug as a young boy. He and my two sons had some great times. He was a fine young man and I am sure will be missed by all.

April 14, 2011

On behalf of Doug's past co-workers and supervisors at King County Sheriff's Office, I'd like to offer our condolences to his family. Although many of us have lost touch with Doug over the years, we'll always remember him as one of our first ID Techs here in AFIS.

In sympathy,

Carol Gillespie

Doug,

We had some great times together growing up in Santa Clara where we were neighbors. Though I haven't seen you in many years, you did cross my mind from time to time while driving through the old neighborhood. I sincerely hope you are at peace and free from any pain. One day, we can meet again and talk over old times. God bless buddy.
