Linda & Kim, I was so sorry to hear about Doug. I know you both will miss him terribly. Kim, I enjoyed the evening we went to Cuckoos Nest with the Stones. Hope to see you and your Mother when the Stones come back up.

My family's thoughts and prayers are with you. I've known Doug since the mid-1970's as we worked at Disney together. Our most fun was the Wonder Weekend annual golf outing. Doug was a good man and will be sorely missed.

Doug and I shared many good times together at Amity High School, Stetson University, our fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha, my wedding, high school reunions and he will be missed. I will always remember his smile, his jokes, his golf and love for life. I will hold on to the great memories as will all of us. My wife Diane and I share our thoughts and prayers with the family.
