Upon learning of this I am saddened that he is gone too early. Doug was a fantastic person and friend, he was one of the most knowledgeable people in the field of communications that I have ever known, and he taught me a lot during my time working for him at ABLE COMM, and made my career complete. My condolences to his family as he will surely be missed. Rest in peace my friend. I will always remember you

I'm not sure if anybody will read this; however, we were great buds back in the late/early 70/80s. He played base in our garage band - we shared many, many memories and I am a bit hurt that I didn't know he had passed. I could share some of our stories - although, it's not a good time/place for that. We went through a huge flood in Houston
and he was knocking on my door - MAC, get up - we got to go. He opened the front door and there was a wave of water that blew through the door. The next day we had
no transportation but the boat in the garage so we launched it and motored through
the streets - we saved a man that was elderly and took him to the awaiting ambulance and then walked to get beer. Hey, that's what you do when you are 20 something. There are so many stories that I could share and could go on and on - He was a very
good guy and we had some great times. I miss him and will see him in heaven.
Doug was one of the smartest and most innovative person I had the pleasure to know and work with. I will miss friend. May god be with his family as they go through this difficult time. Doug thanks for the wonderful memories.

There was no better memory of Doug than when I was a young girl and I had the biggest crush on Doug (or as I called him "Dougie Pooh"). He reminded me of Tom Selleck. Such a handsome man and a dear friend of my father's. My dad would take him fishing when Doug was feeling well. He loved spending time at the fishing camp and catching those speckled trout and red fish. Doug was such a special person and I will always remember him. Although we lost touch as I grew up, we recently got back in touch with one another thanks to my dad. Doug asked for some recent photos of me so he could see me all grown up. I emailed him quite a few photos and he just got the biggest kick out of seeing them. My nephew is getting married on Dec 26th and my dad and I will make a special toast to Doug during this time. My sincere condolences to the family. Doug, you will never be forgotten and you will always be my first crush...
