Dear Douglas
We are very sad to hear, that you passed away.
Yesterday we had our big Christmas Concert here in Herborn. We played the " Hallelujah " from Leonard Cohen just for you, to remember on one of the best friends we ever had in Milwaukee.
Thanks for being friends. RIP Dougie

Doug was a wonderful musician, a jovial person who made everyone laugh and a true humanitarian! He love to surround himself with people who seemed to enjoy his company. We remember the great times at Zur Kron. The wonderful Christmas parties he had there. We remember the folkdancing and his wonderful accordion playing! Doug will surely be missed by all whose lives were truely affected by him. Our deepest condolences to his family at this very difficult time.

I also served with Doug in Germany during 1971-1972. He was our translater and expert on all matters German. He was a great guy and kept us out of trouble down at the local gasthaus. My condolences to his family. May he find eternal peace.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I have known Dougie for as long as I can remember. He was part of our family and was a very dear friend to my Uncle Hans and Auntie Koo Koo Honey. I will dearly miss Dougie and his laughter. He was a kind soul with a great big heart. Rest in peace. My sympathies to Dougie's family and other close and dear friends.

I served in the Army with Doug in Herbornseelbach, Germany in 1971-1972. Had many of good times together. Doug was a great great guy to know since he could speak and understand German a lot better than the rest of the GIs. Doug and my self occasionally chatted on Facebook. I want to extend my condolences to the family and relatives of Doug. He was a great guy who I will miss.
