Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear about this incredible loss. I worked with Doug near the end of 2022 and just heard of his passing from a colleague. He was such a kind soul, very empathetic to others suffering and was a true artist through and through. I was lucky enough to see some of his previous artwork, and he would always have the best music recommendations. He will surely be missed by his family and the community. It´s comforting to know that he is reunited with his grandfather whom he loved so...

He was so creative, always had a cool project going on. Thanks Doug for the kindness, and friendship.

I'm so sorry that you've lost Doug. He was a free spirit and a gentle person. In his teen years he spent many nights in the loft of our garage with our son and good friend Ben. He was always respectful and a good friend.

I´ve known Doug since he and my son Jeff were in orchestra at Chelsea High. He will be missed and my family offers their condolences.
