    I wish I had known him better but we all have so little time. We shared a great number of interests.

    As a poster here and elsewhere I didn't always agree but I always had a lot of respect for his opinion. His leadership here and what he accomplished are immeasurable.

    RIP, buddy.

    I was there for that NGC luncheon. I think we had to talk Doug into joining us and Dena was kind enough to let him in as a guest. Chris (9ball something) was also there. I believe Bill Jones was also there. We all had our own little coin show, passing coins around the table.
    At some point the folks at NGC came and ask us to keep it down. We were getting a bit loud. There were some really high end coins being passed around. Doug was a bit quite but if he knew you he might offer his opinion on your coin. There were some straight graded coins that he called cleaned and he was right. He was a tough grader and felt the services had became too loose. I felt the same and had to agree. He felt that the services had gone too far away from the ANA standards. I'll never forget the guy.

    Haha, yep, that was exactly what happened. cpm9ball. That luncheon was one of my top coin show memories (even if we did get in trouble!).

    Wow. Similar to many, I didn't know Doug personally, or even interact with him much on this forum. But having lurked around here since 2008, I can say he was truly a presence and helped make this forum a place that I wanted to keep returning to. It sounds like his passing may have even been a surprise to his family. Very sad. This forum will never be the same.
