That is a shame, Doug stocked a gun for me long before I became a gunmaker, a really nice guy and a great craftsman.
Rest in peace Doug.

That, is sad news. Thanks for sharing, I had no idea he was ill.
Shared a few emails and PMs with him. Very knowledgeable.
Godspeed.
Best,
Ted

This is terrible to hear ...I tracked him down years ago he helped me when I started out stocking and checkering ,he was extremely kind to a young guy from Newfoundland ...i spoke to him on and off over the years ,always kind and helpful...i was fortunate enough to attend the southern this year where I finally shook his hand and thanked him for his help and encouragement, I cant believe I got to finally meet him for the first and last time .
God speed Doug

God speed Doug I also saw him at the Southern at the Guild table. He was super good at everything he did and also a gentleman.

I got to know Doug when he was working on the great two barrel Daly set that I sold him. What a job he did on that project. It was hard to give up that wonderful gun, but it ended up in the right hands.

Doug was my best friend. We always talked 2-3x/week about everything and about nothing. He was 83, and if you are an adolescent 83 1/2. I can assure you his passing was without drama he just simply died. I cannot tell you how much I will miss him. Well beyond his incredible gifts as a stockmaker and brilliant, perfect checkering he was humble and kind. He had magic hands. I will miss him forever.

I'm very sorry to hear this. It was always a special treat when he shared his impeccable work with us here.
My condolences to his family and friends.
