Doug Corkern

I remember when we were in grammar school Doug would always be called upon to draw at Christmas time a Santa at Christmas time on the black board. Doug was extremely talented and was a great baseball catcher and football center. He was a good high school friend and I miss him.

I was a member of Doug´s 1953 Winyah High School class. I have known Doug since grade school. He was a wonderful friend.

Deepest condolences to Doug's family and friends. Jim and I are so deeply saddened by the passing of this beloved and talented architect, artist, and planner who left such a legacy on Lowcountry design. He was also an engaging artist, so generous with his talent and a great humanitarian. We will miss him until the end of our lives.

It was a privilege to know and work with Doug since the `70s.

Doug allowed me to run Jean's art gallery in his architectural studio. The Fox Grape Gallery was one of the island´s first art galleries, and I met the best of South Carolina artists featured on their walls and floors and even in the pool for openings. Monthly gatherings brought out the Island's brilliant settlers. He provided a studio and encouraged so many young creative people. Doug's style protected the environment and each building is unique to the place it was built. Hilton Head and...

Although I do not live on Hilton Head anymore I first met Doug in 1965 and have shared many wonderful memories over the years from business to golf and more. Rest In Peace with Jean and Scott. Don Peterson,friend

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
