Douglas Tenny Corbin

Dear Mrs Corbin,

What an honor for Doug's obit to have been posted at the Richmond Plunge! The photo did him no honor, but I soon figured who it was, since I always knew Doug as ... Doug! We spoke for years in that locker room, usually on Sundays, and usually about opera.


I'm 67, and will always consider Doug a model for graceful aging. Also of grace in generalI'm sure I cancelled his vote in 100 elections, but he never took such things personally.


Knowing now his...

Rosemary: forgive me for being so late. Doug was a very special man, and I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

Some people you hope and expect they will outlive you because their very existence ennobles all who come into their acquaintance. Doug Corbin was such a one.

My heartfelt condolences to Mayor Rosemary and her two loving children, now beautiful adults in their own right. Richmond shares your loss, participates in your grief, and offers what consolation a grateful and remembering city can.

What a beautiful life, my condolences to you, Rosemary, and your children.

My deepest condolences to Rosemary Corbin and family. May you find strength in remembering the legacy your dear loved one left behind.

I recall with much please working with Doug on local elections around the turn of the century. My condolences.

Dear Rosemary,

My heartfelt, deepest condolences,

Carla Bowman
