Condolence From: Patty
Condolence: Doug was in my music appreciation class at Newark Academy. His kindness touched me in a very special and personal way, so much so, that I remember him and his kindness to me to this very day. Funny thing is, he likely would not remember me if we had ever met again. Doug was a beautiful soul! He demonstrated how a kind word and a warm smile can touch a person for life! My deepest condolences to Doug's family and friends.

Condolence: Doug,
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel inside. I remember you
with love, laughter and fun times. We have been apart for a long time, but
you
knew that my heart has always been with you. I'll miss you, sweet heart,
I'll
miss you very much. You will always in my thoughts and in my soul because
you
gave me the eternal gift of love and many sweet and happy memories.
love forever,
Maria Grazia

Condolence: Another friend of Doug's from his college days, I am so sorry that such a cool and wonderful guy has died in his prime; both for Doug and especially for his current friends and family.
Doug was a challenge (aren't we all), but more so a frequent challenger to my life and status quo. He was serious and silly. We often had it out over a beer or three; he gave me a really hard time when I hired on to transport a new Porsche from Chicago to Denver "and didn't wreck it" (you might have had to been there). But mostly we just had a really fun time with each other for may years.
I've thought of Doug often since we saw each other last, and will always do so with fond memories and inspiration...

Condolence: I knew Doug from his Colorado College days.
Doug held court. His court was part erudite, part hedonist. Good for him.
He was short on words. He was long on thought.
That was one hell of a Grateful Dead concert back in '72!

Condolence: I was so sorry to hear of Doug's passing. I knew him many years ago in school in Colorado and thought of him often since then. He will be missed very much. Condolences to his family.

Condolence From: meg
Condolence: Doug was an enigma; friendly one day, reclusive the next. He was as unpredictable as the sea breeze he lived with for many years. We were friends for so many years, through our many different relationships, jobs, and emotions.
I used to talk with him for hours about everything in life, mostly about food, books, art and music. Douglas was a caring person who will not be replaced in my life. I still feel his presence though I know he is gone. He will live in the garden and on the seas, and I will remember him at his happiest moments.

Condolence: Doug was my first real love. We met at college in fall of 1972, and were together all four years. We helped build my brother's house in Maine one summer. He was good with wood, and a gentle and genuine person. I am happy to read that he was pursuing his passions in his later life, and that he touched others with his depth of goodness. I am sorry his time was cut short. I wish that all he shared with others keeps his spirit alive. Best wishes to his family.

Condolence From: Barbara Hauck "Bonnie"
Condolence: The depths of a love I feel for Douglas at this time is immense. We didn't really participate in each others lives, as of late, but I have much gratitude for having known him. I'm still in shock. I mourn his passing, but I think of the elements of our connectedness and I am a lucky person to have him in my heart. Gosh, I learned a lot from him. I most appreciate his "artist". His genuis. I will miss him.

Condolence From: Kenneth and Lisa Miller
Condolence: A most painful goodbye to a loyal and dedicated friend. We will miss his dinners, his voice, his phone calls, his presence on the beach and on the ski slopes. He was also a friend to our children, a generous and non-judgemental advice giver. Doug continues to be the salty breeze and warm sunshine of our lives.
Love,
Ken, Lisa, Doug, Graham and Derrick Miller
