Barb,
I offer my sincere condolences to you and your family. The true measure of a man is how much he is loved by others and Doug was a giant among men. I wish you God speed and pray that you take comfort in the wonderful memories of a life well lived and an enduring love.

Recently, Bob T. called to let me know about Doug's passing. So many wonderful memories of cousin-reunions in Rye. Doug's uncle, Tim, was always very excited to hear details about Doug's football games. The tape of Doug and Barb speaking about Paige is very moving. Sending love and prayers to Barb and William and all my cousins.

I was saddened to learn of Doug´s passing. I had the pleasure of working with Doug at Timberland for several years and was fortunate to consider him a friend as well. While we hadn´t had much communication over the last several years I will always remember Doug´s friendship, kindness, leadership and smile.
Sending warm thoughts and prayers to the Tibbet´s family.

Doug,
I'm so sorry you're gone. I can't help but feel you had more to do in this world and you will be so missed. Thank you for being a good father to your son, who has been and will forever be one of my best friends. He's the kind of man you want to be with on your best day and your worst day and I can't imagine how proud you are of him. I hope you are at peace knowing how many people love you and your family. We will be here for them as they navigate the unfathomable pain of your loss. I'm glad I knew you and I hope you are with your daughter sipping that heavenly champagne. Rest in peace, Doug. I wish we had more time.
