Doug was a truly wonderful person with a quick smile. I will remember talks we had and his gentle soul and quick mind. We miss the good old days and the fun crowd we came to love during twenty years and Doug and Phyllis were an important pair in making Coral Bay the great place it was to live. A fair wind and a following sea. I hope our paths cross again in the future. Barry and Diane Devine
I remember many great times with Crabby. A lot of them were just hanging out at his water sports shop in St John and shooting the breeze. Also a few Budweiser's at Island Blues. He was a kind and funny guy that you always felt good being around. My condolences to Phyllis and all his family. "Mechanic" Ron O'Brien
Doug was such a kind man! I always loved taking to him when he would come in to get his haircut. Phyllis, I am so sorry for your loss. The wonderful things you would say about him you were both lucky to have each other! ❤️ I’m sending you love and good memories during this hard time.
Doug! I was really looking forward to you coming back to St. John for more adventures. Now we'll have to wait a bit. You were always so welcoming, funny, and fun to be around. We're all missing you right now. So glad you and Phyllis came into our lives. Until we meet again . . .
