While researching my father's side of the family, this is what I found; Paul Douglas Chase Lange is my long, lost cousin! He was two years old than me and we used to play at his parent's home in Rye, NY. He went by "Doug" and I thought he was so much fun! So sad to hear of his passing and also sad that disputes between our parents years ago ended our family connections - last time I remember seeing Doug was in 1962 before we moved to CA. Would love to hear from his son, Paul Douglas Lange, II, and any other living relatives. Phyllis Ann (Lange) Strozier.

I was shocked when I heard the news of Doug's passing. I was one of Doug's clothing representatives and visited him regularly when I was in Florida. He truly had a love for the industry and really enjoyed his customers. He will be missed. My sympathy goes out to Brigitte and Christina. May you rest in peace. God bless you.

My husband and I are shocked and saddened to hear of Doug's passing. During our last visit at Legacy, Doug personally outfitted me and we had a blast! He definitely had a gift. Rest in peace.
