Dear Freddie and Sarah,
I am soo very sorry to hear about Doug. He was such a special man to me and my family. No matter how busy he was, he always made the extra effort to come and visit me at work when he was in Trail. Out of the blue I would look out my office door and there he would be - smiling at me. I saw him just a few months ago when he was in town. He has always held a very special place in my heart - he was there for me and my family when my dad died, then when my nona died and now how I wish I could be there for you. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you both at this difficult time in your lives.
Love you both and God bless you Doug.

I didn't know Doug at all other than what he did to my boyfriend's family. The Orosco's were truly touched by everything that he, and your entire family, did for them.

I first met Doug when I came to Stockton at the ice rink for an adult pick-up hockey session. Later, I coached with him for the Stockton Colts. He was great with the kids and loved the game of hockey. I remember he would light up like a Christmas tree when he was on the ice and made everyone on the ice feel the same way. I will miss him a lot and hope to make a difference in peoples lives like he has for so many.
