To my great friend Doug Cobb. I love you! You were a definite plus in my life and I will always be grateful for our time together.

I just came across Doug's obituary when doing a Google Search. We met at Auburn, I'm positive I became an ATO little sister because of him. I've often thought of Doug over the years, hoping his life was as wonderful as he was. Our song, Taxi, remains my favorite song of all time. I always wanted to see him again, now I will in Heaven. Love You Always, Laure

I'm writing this on behalf of the many members of the WDWmagic forum who "knew" Doug as "unkadug". He was much loved and will be sorely missed. Although we never met in person, Doug's compassion and keen sense of humor were such a gift to us. God bless you Doug.

Such a positive influence on the lives of many, who helped us get through good times and bad times through the gift of music. Doug taught me how to properly emcee on a microphone...even took time once to try and teach me how to beat match and mix records. I failed at learning the latter, lol, I feel forever Blessed to have known such a wonderful human being as Doug Cobb.

The world's lights are a little dimmer now you gone. I watched you touch so many lives with your passion for music. Thank you for being my friend and understanding me even when I didn't. The day I met you my life was forever changed. I will miss you. You will always remain my world.
