Doug Mascott Obituary

Doug Mascott, lifelong resident of Marblehead passed away Wednesday, March 5th, after a brief illness. Born March 19th, 1964, he was a loving son of Karl Mascott, and the late Dorothy Mascott, devoted brother of Wendy Silverman, and adoring uncle of Dorothy and Jack Silverman. Doug graduated from Chapel Hill/Chauncy Hall Preparatory School, and Curry College, and was the owner of DEM Window Washing business. Doug was sincere, gentle, cheerful, and quick with a laugh. A joy to be around, he was incredibly generous with his time for his family, and many friends. He donated much of his spare time conducting charitable work for Muscular Dystrophy, in addition to collecting and distributing toys to underprivileged children during Christmas, and supporting local orphanages. Dougs eagerness to lend a hand, extend a kind word, and express interest in so many peoples lives will leave an enduring impression. But, his greatest legacy will be the hundreds of local musicians and bands he gave voice to, and introduced to listeners here on Boston's north shore through his Sunday morning radio program Trax of the Town, broadcasting from Salem State Radio WMWM for over 25 years. Without Doug, much of this music may have gone unheard. A memorial service was held at Temple Emanu-El, 393 Atlantic Ave, Marblehead on Monday, with a burial following at Waterside Cemetery, West Shore Drive, Marblehead. In lieu of flowers, donations in Dougs memory to Muscular Dystrophy Association, PO Box 78960, Phoenix, AZ 85062-8960. Arrangements by Stanetsky-Hymanson Memorial Chapel, Salem.

Doug was one of my students at Curry College. He was a very important and appreciated member of the radio station. I remember Doug as a friendly young man, and always interested in learning new things. This is a very sad day for me personally, and I want to extend my deepest sympathies for this loss.

Dear Karl and Wendy, We fondly remember 'little' Doug with his charge account at Tom's ice cream truck. His favorite was 'very treasures'! We were so sad to hear of his death. You are in our thoughts.

Doug gave me my first radio gig at WNSH and then later WMWM. We had a falling out some years ago over something stupid and all this time I was tempted to call him but never could pull the trigger on it. Well, now it is too late and my friend is gone forever. Doug, I will never forget your smile, the laughter, and the never ending good times. Rest in peace my friend, I love you.

Doug, I'm sorry to have found out about your passing. Thanks for the opportunity to sit alongside you at both WNSH and WMWM between 2000-2005. It was a fun hobby and interesting skill to learn (running a mixing board) while it lasted. RIP, my friend. It was a pleasure to know you!

I knew Doug for 15 years at WMWM and WNSH radio, where he exposed listeners to local music of all kinds.He also had band nights and charity benefits, and worked hard to do an interesting radio show that served the community. Giving to others was his goal. We attended concerts and ballgames, ate out and I helped him a bit with charity efforts. Great sense of humor and a positive outlook. Many local artists got the attention they deserved thanks to Doug. He will be missed by many.--Bob Nelson, WMWM Radio
