I am very sorry for your loss.I just learned of Doug's passing tonight thru another friend of ours, Willy.We were all child hood friends and companions untill we lost contact in the mid 80's.We met on a Christmas day when we had both received Stingray bikes while riding on Charles St.While life is very short my memories of him are not, after all he introduced me to a girl that became my wife.
