Oh my, I'm just learning about this 7 years later. I am so very sorry. Doug was a sweetheart of a guy. I was at Eastman School of Music with him. Then ran into him in Atlanta one time. RIP, my friend. I'll see you again one day.

Dear Frew siblings, Doug and I served together with A Christian Ministry in the National Parks at Yellowstone in 1979. He was such a gift to our team, both for his music and his heart. I was so glad to reconnect with him in recent years. I have been missing him and discovered the news of his loss. I grieve. Such a sensitive and engaging listener. Such a wonderful blend of gifts of hands, heart, and head. May you continue to know him through the stories of others. May you know that the Lord...

Linda, I'm so very sorry to hear about Doug. I remember what a good piano player he and Billy both were when teenagers. Take comfort that you will see him again someday. Agape Love, Steve

Doug was our church choir director and taught us a lot. My teenage daughter was devastated to hear of his passing since he was her first 'organized music teacher'. We miss him.

My husband and I were so fortunate to be Doug's friends, and I'm glad I was able to come to the service Saturday to honor him and meet you. I miss him so much!
