I just received a phone call from Doug's son telling me Doug passed away a couple of days ago. He asked me to make an announcement here to let you know. Doug recently blacked a set of English 28 ga barrels for me, but just prior to that he had some heart trouble and was in a terrible motor vehicle accident. He had a long haul recovery, but nevertheless wanted to finish my barrels. Even being ill, Doug did a superb, really fabulous job rust blacking those barrels. I think Doug was a perfectionist, for sure when it came to working on the guns he loved. He was a very strong man as evidenced by his tenacity. I'm going to miss Doug.

So sorry to hear that. My condolences to the family.
I never met Doug but we had PM'd through here, he was a very knowledgeable fellow and will be missed.

That's just terrible news. What a talent and what talent we have lost here over such a short period of time.

I would have to say I'm really shocked. I been in pretty constant contact with Doug for years and while I knew he had medical problems I thought he'd overcome them. My condolences to his family.

I'm truly shocked about this news, I had no idea that he was ill and now this. He truly was a master at reblueing. He will be missed. Doug and his family will be in our prayers.
Thanks buzz for letting us know.
God Bless Doug
Greg & family
