Doug was a very technical soccer ref who worked his butt off during a game. What I found very rewarding were the long discussions we had after we worked a game together. I wish I had found the time to have a few more of those conversations before he left us. I will miss him.
Awesome dude.

Such sad news. Doug was such a positive role model when I first began as a soccer referee when I was President of EYSA. My prayers to his family.

Thankful for the short time I had to know Doug during my years as a Wildrick. I always loved hearing about his adventures as a soccer referee. We need more Doug Geblers in the world. God Blessed us and our family with Doug and his family. Thank you!

Mr.Gelber was probably my most favourite sub teacher that was in etown. He always had a fun side but was stict when need be. I am lost at words on what to say. I am heartbroken. The last time I saw Mr.Gebler was My sophmore year at etown. He always helped me understand my math. He will be missed. Rest easy Mr.G!
