My buddy was a great journalist, covering the auto reviews for a great metropolitan daily. A man with integrity, I trusted him with my family's safety. He took me out for a spin around the block in a Porsche Panamera. I wanted to wash the car, I was so happy.

Doug earned the job, beating the living daylights out of the bad guys on local, state and federal levels. An Eagle Scout, tops in every way as a human being and as a friend. I still can't believe he's gone from us.

I do know our time here is short. Knowing you from DU, ucrdem, I know that you also appreciate the gift we've been given.
