To Doug’s Family,
Doug is a longtime friend of mine. Doug and I came to know each other through his first wife, the late Diane Murta, a dear friend of mine as well. And, even though we didn’t see each other often, I know our friendship stood the separation of the miles.
Doug was one of the kindest persons I knew. He was a strong family man. Based on how I know Doug, Linda, Michael and extended family members, please take great comfort in the fact that he loved you.
Doug, while often he had a pretend tough façade, he simply is one of the gentlest souls I have ever known!
Rest in peace my friend!
