Sorry to report sad news but it happens and I feel everyone getting this would like to know. Doug's daughter Denise e-mailed me today that her Dad passed last night. Both Denise and her brother Darryl were with Doug when he passed. I have been in touch with Denise over the last few months and knew Doug was in failing health.
Doug was a member of the great racing brother team made up of Del, Don and Doug with Doug being the youngest. Del passed about 9 years ago and Don lives here in Fl on the east coast. I can remember watching Doug and his brothers running at Cuba Lake Raceway in the 50's and how impressed I was back then with his cars and driving ability. I never got to know him until I organized the Cuba Lake Raceway banquet/reunion in 2003. We talked many times in the last 10 years and I enjoyed my friendship with Doug very much with conversations on racing naturally but also on thing in life too. Great Guy and driver. I will miss my conversations with him from time to time. Drive on Doug drive on. I don't have any arrangement information. I suggest you watch the Buffalo area newspapers.
