Doug and I were in dental school together. Doug always had a smile and a fun loving up, upbeat outlook on life. It is with fond memories that I remember Doug laughing despite the challenges we all faced. He lived life to the fullest in the time that he had with us all, he has touched many lives,
God be with you Doug, we will miss you ,

We are so sorry for your loss. It was such a kind gentleman and a fine man. I hope he is at peace. You poor things, what sadness for you.
“Let us weep in our darkness, but weep not for him!
Not for him who, departing, leaves millions in tears!
Not for him who has died full of honor and years!
Not for him who ascended Fame’s ladder so high:
From the round at the top he has stepped to the sky.”

Lori – we are so unbelievably sorry for your loss, if there is anything we can do please let us know.
Bob and Linda – no parents should have to bury their son and I can’t even begin to think what you are both going through.
Just know that you raised a son/husband who was a light for others to see by, who spread joy wherever he went and will be remembered always as a true and fine gentleman.
Very sad, our sincere condolences to Lori, Lynda and Bob, our thoughts are with you at this time.
Paul and Susan.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
Dear Bob and Linda-We were sad to hear of Doug’s passing. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
Doug and June
I am saddened to hear of Doug’s passing. I saw a mutual friend not long ago and he regaled me with stories of Thailand and Doug’s epic trip through the Alps in a rented Ferrari and I had to smile. From Uplands Elementary, to Lansdowne, to Mt Douglas High School, Doug was a good friend to all who knew him. He always made me laugh and sometimes challenged me to be better at some parts of my life. He was a good dentist to my family and a thoughtful man. The world has lost a priceless person who belies the following by Isiah Thomas: “If all I’m remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I’ve done a bad job with the rest of my life.” In Doug’s case he was a great basketball player who will be remembered for so many other noble things. Sending Doug’s family good energy and thoughts at this difficult time. Be well Doug.
As a classmate of Doug I think I can speak for the entire class of 1990 when I say he will be missed.
Rarely did you see Doug without a smile on his face and he was always quick witted. Many of my memories of Doug bring a smile to my face as I think back on some of the things as a class that we got up to.
Our sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones for his loss .
Life is not fair! I am 20 years older than Doug and still around. Why do we lose such a great guy so young? I am an oral surgeon and Doug has referred patients to me for many years. Over all that time, I have never seen a patient from his office that didn’t have good things to say about him. He was a fine dentist and truly a gentleman. He loved his life–his golf, his dogs and, of course, good red wine (as well, of course, the tables at Vegas).
Doug will be truly missed! My special condolences to his wife, to Bob and Linda and the rest of the family!
