Doug was my first love. He taught me so much about life and how to be myself. I owe my love of music and the beach to him. I owe him my confidence. I am so honored to have stayed part of his life for 30 years. I would love to have Paul's address and Suzanne's if you could send them to me. -- much love, Lisa. [email protected]

My deepest sympathy to Doug's family and friends. He was my manager when he worked with EEI. He would travel to Fort Devens often. He truly cared about the employees. We will miss him dearly. Another Beautiful Heart is in Heaven....Josie

I can remember the summers when I would spend a week with my cousins Doug and Paul; they were good times. Doug, the youngest, was always the "little brother"....what a sweet kid :-) I did not get to see him much as he grew up, but he was on my mind often, and now he is in my prayers. He is with his Mom and Dad now, and will be comforted. Condolences, Troy

I used to work with Doug - he was a very smart and sweet person. I will always remember the fun time we had visitng Sorrento when he came to work in Naples. I pray now that his soul will be at rest and pray for peace for his family.

I am truly shocked and saddened by the news of Doug's passing. Doug and I worked together for a couple of years - I always loved how he always had a smile or hug to offer when times were tough. My heart is breaking for everyone who loved him! Doug was a truly wonderful person!

I am so sorry. Doug was the most laid back friend I knew.
I will miss his colorful FB posts and his never ending smile.
That boy sure loved his mother too, back in the day, before life separated us, we wuld always go see his mother for no reason other than to say, "Hi" and we could never leave town to go surfing in Hatteras without a stop to see her, and what a lovely lady she was too, always very welcoming to me.
You will surely be missed Doug, never forgotten and always loved.
