I went to school with Doug, we were never close but got to hang out with him once and thought he's a cool guy. You see Doug was tall 6'3 - 6 '4 blonde haired Viking looking guy in his black motorcycle jacket. I met him at Westborough Jr. High and we both graduated from So. S.F High I know all his friends will miss him. My condolences to the Welch family.
A terrible tragedy, Doug was my neighbor, and a good guy. Deepest condolences to his family.
