My sincerest condolences to the Crosbie family. I had the fortunate experience of working and sitting with Doug for sometime in the post production office of Cineflix a few years back. He was a wonderful man and he was the only person in the office who I could discuss Survivor with.
He worked closely with my husband, who adored him. His death has been an incredible shock to this company, as Doug was one of the best in the business. My husband and many of our amazing colleagues will be attending the service today. Thank you to this incredible family for allowing everyone to pay their respects and say goodbye to Doug. May he rest in peace.
