Kim,
My deepest sympathy to you and the family. Doug will be truly missed. I remember the last time I talked to him. I was working at PWC and when I told him who I was we talked and talked. The Tennis court was his love and he loved playing and teaching the game. As a little girl I remember seeing Doug walking witb that Tennis racquet in his hand. He will be missed. Rest in peace Doug!

So sad to hear of Doug's passing. What a lovely spirit! We knew each other from childhood. He was a great influence to my nephew who developed a love of tennis due to Doug's tutoring. The Bible tells us to " See a man skillful in his works, he will stand before kings". Proverbs 22:29 He was certainly skillful in his works. RIP, Doug.

God Bless Doug and his family. He was a class act and an inspiration to me. Doug made it cool to play tennis. He loved the game and played number 1 for E. E. Smith. He was a role model. He was respectful and respected. God bless his soul and his family.

Kim, you know I called him DRay, we shared many memories and I will hold on to those precious memories. This brother was much more than a tremedous athlete. DRay was a brilliant mind, I want people to know that as well as how much he cared for E.E. Smith. I love you DRay, thank you for being a very good friend, bye for now, rest DRay, rest.

Sorry for your lost but remember Rev:21.4 And he will wipe out every tear from your eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

Sorry for the loss of your love one. John 5 : 28, 29 assures us that Jesus will restore life to those who has died. Revelation 21 : 3, 4 gives further assurance that death will be swallowed up forever. These are wonderful blessings to look forward to knowing that your loved one is in God's memory. Hope this thought brings comfort.
