    Doug held our high school class in special affection. As our "communications guy," he kept us connected about class get-togethers, the deaths of classmates and related events. In a high school play, Doug played the star athlete boyfriend. I played the wimpy nerdy boyfriend. In the play, I was to punch Doug. We rehearsed a near-miss punch. On opening night, either he or I got too enthusiastic. I actually hit him, knocking him down. I was scared that he would maul me after the play ended. Instead, we joked about this for more than 60 years. I and other classmates will miss Doug’s friendship. Rest in peace, Doug. Welcome home.

    Worked on computers for Doug in the printing Div at Kodak, fished Lake Ontario and Canada with him, snowmobiled Hanlin, Hilton, Kendsll and Brockport and was his pool partner at the Homestead Inn in Hamlin many nights. They were great days I have never forgotten. RIP Doug

    Doug and I go way back. We were neighbors in Hilton for many years. We did a lot together. Fishing in Canada on the Redue River, road rallies with our sportscars, drinking at the bars. I am glad I got to see him while he was staying with his son.
