Not sure what to say?

Regret the loss of a life time friend, many menories to store, to those who remember that blue suit, the long nights playing cards, best remembered for the club we use to operate on Hickory street, 4 1/4 and the black room that surprised everyone upon entry,the sundays playing music or tried to play, always remembered Skeet for the good times and lessons we learned about life experiences, forever a life time friend remembered

Walter Douglas and family: May God grant you His peace that surpasses all understanding. My sincere condolences to you and your family. I will always cherish the good times I spent with Skeet.

Grace & Peace

I am saddened to hear of the loss of a lifelong friend. Even though our paths separated, the memories will live on forever. From hanging out on the corners to playing Bid Whist/Hearts in "The Lab" to making music at "4 & 1/4" to kicking back at the Archway. (ask Doug Riley, Ed Edgar, Fella Thomas, or Marty). He was truely,the most versatile artist I have ever met. Even his hand written signature was something to marvel at.

However, I am embarrased to have found out about...

To "The Douglas Family",
I've known and hungout with Skeet's for many years.
A group of us started a club next to the old Rheingold Brewery,Where some members formed a group and played latin music.While others just hungout and played card games.
During the holidays, Members would contribute donations to local charities!
One of the last times I was able to spend time with my friend "Skeet" was many years ago, When Fella Thomas and myself were celebrating
our birthdays, And...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.
