I don't think I've fully accepted that you've gone, Dougie. We've been friends for more than half my life. My heart is heavy and so broken 💔

I'm sorry, Dougie. You know why. See you on the other side. Always ❤️❤️

To Kiki, Cole and Dougie's entire family. I'm so deeply and truly sorry for this immense loss. May you find comfort and peace during this difficult time. 🙏

You were always a beacon of positivity. I will never forget you and our adventures. Everything from our study sessions to strolls around the airport just chatting. Our flights and trips were always fun and relaxing. You, Simba, will always be missed. My heart aches knowing you passed and I couldn't say goodbye or thank you for always being you, a friend no matter what and a shoulder to lean on. I will never forget you. 🩵

Douglas and I have been friends for over 25 years. He worked for me as a piano technician and was at the top of his game in the music industry.  He always came with a great big smile.  The biggest artists in the world trusted him with their tunings.  Through Doug I met his father, the Major, and traveled to Kenya to help his fathers music school understand jazz theory so they could be a part of the Berklee school.  Doug leaned on me many times over the years and I would often refer to him as "my son Doug" .   I cared about him very deeply and he was always a pleasure to be with.
