To Doug’s family, my deepest sympathies. Doug and I were co-workers for probably twenty years and he was well-liked by everyone at work. He was hard working, dependable and knew his job well, but he was also great to talk to on a personal basis, and I enjoyed our conversations very much. I was so happy for him when he retired as he seemed so excited to be moving to Colorado where they had ‘real weather’. Please know he will be missed very much.
My sincere sympathies to Doug’s family on his sudden passing. I worked with Doug for just the last few years of his career at the district office in Costa Mesa. We are all saddened here by this news.
Doug was a valued friend and Co-worker, for many years. I will miss talking to him, and will keep him in my heart.
We all miss him at wwww.cccd.edu ……
Doug was a very nice person. Everyone liked him even ones who didn’t know him very well. He was an integral part of our department at the computer center at Coast Community College Distric. He was someone we could always count on and knew the job better than anyone else. We could always count on Doug. He was always pleasant even when he wasn’t feeling well. He was always willing to help the newcomers and was very patient. We missed him when he retired and now we will miss him even more.
