Sorry to hear about a classmate of mine passing away. I remember carrying Doug’s books to his first period class because he was in my home room. We played little league baseball and after the games his father would sometimes take us kids to the Pub on Rt. 230 for ice cream! I have many memories of Doug!

I was so sorry to hear of Doug’s passing when I made my annual birthday call. His dear mother told me the sad news. We worked together in the 70s and kept in touch these many years. He was a dear man who never forgot his friends. I will miss him.
