Dr. Nita. I am so sorry that I couldn’t keep up with you two. I do understand you took great care of Dr. Doug and o was taking care of my sweet Farrel that I lost to advanced Alzheimer’s 1/15/24. We both loved you each dearly and appreciated you for taking care of our eyes. We always cry because we miss them but not because they are gone to a better place. 

Deepest sympathy to the family on the loss of a fine gentleman.  We have fond memories of Doug from Friends in Faith Sunday School and ASU athletic events.  He will be missed but not forgotten.

Neta, Stephanie and Douglas, I was so sorry to hear about Doug’s passing and want you to know I have you in my prayers.  I pray God gives you strength and peace during this difficult time. I will always remember Doug with a big smile and his love for his family.  Love always, your cousin,

Dr. Doug became my eye doctor when I was in college. He and Dr. Neta had just opened their clinic. I was on my own and worked at Burger King. I did not feel I could afford a new pair of glasses so we talked about it and decided I could pay $5 a week.  This was before any kind of credit companies helped with these types of expenses.  That level of trust in a college student endeared me to him forever. 

I paid off those glasses with our agreed upon arrangement and he told me I could always get glasses from him and he would be a credit reference for me for the rest of my life. ❤️

That was the kindhearted man with a beautiful soul that I knew.  RIP Dr Doug.
