Doug's Portland friends are all really sad to hear of his passing and want his family to know that out West he was loved by many. He will be remembered, as a kind, thoughtful, creative man who was always in the moment and authentic with the people in his life. Rest in Peace, Doug. I had hoped we'd see each other again...

Mary Ellen, I am so very sorry to read about Doug. You have my deepest sympathy. I have been searching for you for years. We moved to North Port, FL in 2014. Look for me in facebook if you are interested. We live about 2+ hrs. from each other.
