You gave me great inspiration Doug. I used the determination I saw in you and your expeditions. My expedition wasn’t climbing but construction which gave me great success.
Thanks for showing me the right direction and for the privilege of having you as a great teacher at Cottesmore school between 1963 and 1966.
It’s time to rest now Doug! Thanks for the knowledge.

He inspired me to attempt climbing Mount Everest ten years ago. I didn't succeed but I still feel like I accomplished something anyway. I'll always remember his bravery and fierce survival skills, he really changed mountain climbing for the better. May God bless his family and give them hope and peace during this difficult time. He was a true pioneer and will never be forgotten.
