Douglas and I were business colleagues for only three years but we formed a sincere friendship that I´ll always cherish. Douglas was cool and calm but he was driven. He had more business ideas and ventures in play than anyone I know. No telling what he would have accomplished if he´d had more time.
I went to visit him in the hospital three times. It was obvious he was battling a difficult illness. I thought he would overcome however and was crushed to learn he passed. We were planning to meet for lunch as soon his recovery began.
And yes, as has been said, he was extremely proud of his children. He left quite a legacy and he knew it.
To the Lovelace family, we grieve with you. I pray your memories of Douglas give you hope and strength. You know he would want that. God bless you all.

Lovelace Family and Friends,
I was so sorry to hear of Douglas´ passing.
I knew one thing for sure about Douglas: He was very proud of his kids! When I first met Douglas at a work meeting, he very quickly whipped out his phone to show me some pictures of his kids. I commented on how attractive they both are and in true Douglas fashion he said, "Well, where do you think they got it from?"
Wishing you peace in this time of grief.
