To the Westmoreland Family my condolences.Doug and I have known each other for years. Sports were our companion. Had not seen him that much since his retirement. But when we did it was like old times. Remember Westmoreland Family "Joy comes in the morning." May God bless you all.....

Uncle Doug.
you definitely a one-of-a-kind. just a good person overall.A good hearted man. Cool and with such a kindness about your spirit. I haven't seen you in a really long time but I always was so happy to see you each time I did at the HOP. with that winning smile of yours. I am so sorry that I did not get to pay my respects but I did not find out until later otherwise I would have been there. may you rest in peace and I'm sure your dad is up there smiling and glad to have you there with him. You will truly be missed. thank you for showing my brother pop and I the love that you did. God bless your family and may they have the strength they need during their bereavement. RIP

Westmoreland Family,

I have just learned with sorrow of the death of Doug. I wish to express my deepest sympathy and the hope that the kind thoughts of your many friends will make your grief a little easier to bear. My memories of Doug only involve playing against each other in various football, basketball and baseball competitions throughout Charlotte. Those interactions and skills learned from those activities with Doug were stepping stones that on numerous occasions I reached back to utilize in my athletic achievements through college.

Our words can bring only slight comfort when your grief is so great, that our caring and God's GRACE will lessen the sorrow that you bear.

Emanuel, Ronald and Connie (Grier) Ross
