Doug was a great asset to this board. As another member said, if there is an afterlife I hope that he and Tony Treadwell are able to get together!

A terrible loss. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I had noticed his absence here for a while now; sad news. RIP Doug.

I never knew or dealt with him, but always enjoyed his posts. Rockdoc, that was a great thought about him and Tony Treadwell. Rest in peace Doug.

RIP. What a loss. His work and knowledge will be sadly missed. His standards were so high I was always comparing my work to his as a true high standard.

I think many here will remember a time-that happens a lot on this forum when there was a lot of bickering and fighting back and forth and Doug started this thread-which I still think was one of the better ones ever posted on here. "Member Pics who is who on this forum" His picture is in the first post,many of us joined in. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=254657&page=1

For those new to the forum or have temporarily forgotten about Tony Treadwell, Tony died of cancer after fighting a courageous battle a handful of years ago. Tony was an amateur restorer of old long guns and lived in the UK. He was a prolific poster of his projects. He was amateur in status only as his work was top notch as was Doug's. Doug and Tony struck up a long distance friendship, and after Tony died, Doug stepped up and helped Tony's family in many ways that we will never know. Gil

Like J.R.B., it has been hard to get my mind on much else since hearing of my friend Doug's passing. Doug would not like us making a big fuss over him. He did not care much for attention, much less pity. But he was such a special person that those of us who knew him cannot help but sing his praises as we deal with this huge loss. He and I became friends years ago and, as we talked in the years after, we found that we had so much in common that the friendship just grew stronger. I was fearful of the bad news after the last time I talked with him, he sounded so weak.
I will miss him for a long, long time. His standards of work are what I shoot for when working on my guns, and I will be forever grateful for knowing him.
