COMMENTS:

* From George Hodgson-very sad. I watched the film, looked like he was handling the situation positively. And had a great support group.

* From Jim Woodcock-Sorry about Doug. Thanks for keeping us current!

* From Diana Troutman- I spoke with Doug Jr. and he said Sr. was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer, a few months ago. I think he went downhill quickly and as harsh as it is to say, the ending was a mercy.

* From Ed Tuggle-I hate to here this! Doug trained me on how to effectively sell Fax machines. Fond memories of him and his ever present Pipe.

* From Jim Kincer-Doug and I worked as sales representatives in the Lexington Xerox branch, was a good friend and a good salesman. Doug was always 125% at everything he did! The last time we spoke, after the accident, I was so impressed with his positive attitude and forward thinking! We have lost a wonderful person!

Jerry had many friends and was very involved in the community and his church. His death was very unexpected which made his funeral service a very moving experience.
