Doug was such a special guy and friend to Dennis and I.. may he rest in eternal peace and know how much he was loved 💕💙🙏🥰great job today Dori and all his loved ones who were there to celebrate his life 😊
Miss you so much, Sweetheart. God speed.
Doug took me under his wing at the University of Delaware when I was a freshman pitcher on the baseball team and Doug was a junior. He showed me the ropes on how to work hard, compete and be a good teammate. But where he really stood out was his infectious personality and his ability to make everyone around him smile and feel good. All who ever were around him mourn his loss today. A truly great guy and friend. Condolences to Cathleen and family.
A neighbor is often not someone you get to choose. You win some , and you may lose some. Well, I think I hit the jackpot when Doug (and Cathleen) moved across the street in Branchburg, NJ. People come into your life for a reason. The friendships we experience aren’t random, and some have more impact than others. It was my good luck to have such a reliable, good-hearted friend who also happened to be my neighbor. So, as I mourn Doug’s passing, I can’t help but smile in wonder at a stranger who became a neighbor who became my dear friend. Doug, you will be greatly missed and always remembered. And, I am sure you are keeping ‘em laughing with one of your famous stories!
I valued Doug's friendship thru high school and college. We were football teammates at Brandywine, and fraternity brothers at the U of D. His mom, Jeanne, recruited me for my 34 year career with the New Castle County Police. This is a tough one for anyone who knew Doug.
