Wow Toast! Sorry to see what should have been a healthy guy check out so soon. I'd never heard of that before, a bit of research showed that 1.3 million folks suffer from it.

From the obit Doug sounds like the kind of guy I'd love to meet and hang out with, he sure lived what sounded like a full life with extra gusto though.

67 is plenty old, historicaly speaking - sounds like he made good use of his time and had enough fun, i'd hope, to meet death w/o complaint.
