Dear Alison and Family. Sorry to hear of Doug´s passing. May his memory be a blessing always. John and Margaret Bell

Doug contacted me when I was running for council and always supported me over the years offering sage advice on how to solve the issues in Wellington. I greatly appreciated chatting with him at Karori Rotary and Malvina Majors and miss him immensely. Rest in peace old friend

Murray did a lot of plumbing work for Doug and Alison during the 1990s. He worked on their many properties for them and remembers Doug's kindness and humor. I remember Doug as the head of Wellington Probus and also his assistance in winding Marsden Probus Club. He understood the difficulties involved. A true gentleman and a fine man. Rest in peace Doug.

His experience and attention to detail has been an inspiration and I will miss his wise council and friendship.

Dear Alison and family, We only met uncle Doug a few times on family occasions, but I can say that Meredith always spoke of Doug with great respect. I pray you will all be comforted in this time of loss, and that you can know the hope of being with him again in eternity. Doug has left a legacy in each of you that will continue on. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Jonathan
