He will definitely be missed. I am at a loss for any other words. I just hope the passion he had for many things in life continue on in those whose lives he touched.
As of this posting, I have Doug's old avatar in my signature line for a little while, to honor him. Thing is, I'll go scrolling down some thread and see that avatar in my own signature, and immediately have an, "Uh-oh, he's watching us!" reaction. I instinctively find myself resolving to straighten up and fly right! It's kinda like that feeling you get when you see a cop car in your rearview mirror, even when you're driving safely and under the speed limit. Knowhutimean?
Just got the news now, such a loss, the numismatic world be never be the same again. Hope You are in Heaven looking down on us mortals. Edited
