I am so sorry to Ann & Loren regarding the death of Douglas.
I loved spending time with your Dad. We had many fiun adventures.
I didn't know that he had passed until today when I sent him an email & received an automated message from his office regarding his passing.
I'm shocked & terribly saddened.
My deepest sympathies.

Doug was my best friend at Columbia Law School and regret not having seen him since then. I was hoping to see him at our reunion this June. I extend my sympathies to his family.

When I met you Douglas, almost 30 years ago, I thought you were one of the strangest people I had ever met. Never in my wildest dreams did I know you would become so much a part of our family and how much we would all love you. Holidays will not be the same without you here. Who will I call daily just to chat? Who will I fight with? You are the brother I never had and there is now a large whole in my life. Fly with Christ my brother. I love you and miss you.
