Oh, man, sooo very saddened to read this.....
I got to hang out with Doug on two occasions, a SmartLive class (when EAW was distributing it) and later on, a VUE demo done in our town. Each time I would learn soooo much in a very short time. And every time I would reach out with a question, he was quick to answer and eager to help. And he had some very comforting words when he learned of my Dad's passing in 2006.
Fly High and Mix It Loud, Doug, as only You Can. You were and always will be The Man....
