Douglas Antero Soares

Doug and I worked together for almost a decade. He was loved by all that worked along side him over the years. He was smart, kind and funny. He was a devoted husband and family man and so proud of his sons. Doug made everyone feel respected and valued for the contributions that they made and the effort that they put forth. Doug was a terrific public speaker! Without notes he could enliven a group and inspire action. Doug was a true gentleman, strong and brought a sense of calm to any stressful situation. Doug and I enjoyed years of laughter at the insanity of life. He would joke that he just wanted to play drums in his garage.

I was honored to have met Doug a few times inspecting his beautiful home. At the time I didn't know he was a fellow Eagle but he had that rare quality of such kindness few have nowadays. My condolences to Doug's family, I'm truly sorry for your loss.

I was so saddened to learn of Doug´s passing. I first met him at the Food Pantry garden in the summer months and later inside the Food Pantry. Always a smile, always helpful, always present. It´s going to be different not seeing him organizing, cleaning, preparing shelves for the Food Pantry´s weekly opening! We´ll all miss your positive energy so much!

It's hard to think of this community without the bright presence of Doug. Steady, strong, kind, engaging. Many hearts in this town and elsewhere share the sense of loss and the sense of honor to call Doug "friend". God Bless you Mary ... and all in the family and friendship circles who are saddened. Peace comes for Doug -- Well done "good and faithful servant", says the Lord.
