Publish in a newspaper
August 10, 1966- April 8, 2023
Douglas Pocock, 56, of Gorham, ME passed away unexpectedly on April 8, 2023. Born in
New York City and raised in Scituate, MA, he attended Scituate High School and
graduated in 1984. He attended New Hampshire College and after graduation had a
long career in pharmaceutical sales.
A life-long sports enthusiast, he loved hockey and played weekly until just a few years
ago. He was an avid golfer and played a few times a week throughout his life with his
sons and many friends. Nothing gave him more joy than spending time with his sons,
ideally on a golf course or watching a Boston sports team.
He will be remembered as a wonderful and loving Dad, and a humorous and kind friend.
We are devastated by this sudden loss and will miss him forever.
He is predeceased in death by his father, Richard Pocock. He is survived by his sons,
Sean of Charlotte, NC, and Sam, a senior at Providence College, and his former wife Sara
McLaughlin of Gorham, ME. His mother Kathleen of Jensen Beach, FL, his sister Debbie
also of Jensen Beach, FL, brother-in-law Paul and niece Sophie of New York City.

Hello Kathy..its Judy Bruce. I am sitting here and decided to look up the Pococks.
I met Doug when he was a year old in Laguna Beach. My son Brian was also a year old.. We knocked on your door, answering an ad for golf clubs??
I am not sure if you will ever read this, but I just want you to know that I am so sorry for your loss. How very sad.
We have lost touch....but I live in San Pedro and my address is 2275 W. 25th Street 90732.

I am so sorry to hear of Doug's passing. My sympathies to his family.
Doug and I were good friends in High School in Scituate, but had lost contact over the years.
Many good memories of us hanging out, playing tennis, touch football or basketball in his driveway. There was a group of 4 of us who did a lot together in High school.
Sincerely
Phil Vinal

Doug was one of the best guys around. Everyone was always happy to see his smiling face. His calm demeanor was welcoming and his positive attitude brightened our lives.....we will miss him terribly.....

Doug was one of the first people I remember meeting upon moving to Maine almost 10 years ago. We clicked instantly; our senses of humor being almost identical. Over the years I appreciated more and more his focus upon being a good father to, and provider for, his sons. His wide smile, hardy laugh, and reliable "So what´s new?" will be sorely be missed.
