I am broken hearted. Doug was more than a colleague when I worked with him at FHS as choreographer for the Falcon Dancers the front line of the band. Our artistic collaboration was one of the happiest times I experienced. I will never forget the man whose humanity, warmth,protective nature, loyalty and artistry touched us all. I will miss my friend,"Dug" always.

Doug will be missed so much. What a wonderful man. The day he moved on to Heaven, A wonderful Angel was given his wings. Beckie and family, you have an Angel watching over you every single day of your lives.

I remember how kind and patient Mr. Goudy was when I was studying music theory at Dover High. Sincere condolences to Mrs. Goudy, who was briefly my piano teacher---they were so respectful to students, and that is something I will never forget.
