this is a message that i never thought i would have to write till me you and the boys were old men getting fat and sharing stories with our children and grandchildren but here it goes. dougie you were amazing, funny, outrageous loving, caring compassionate and a brother someone who any person would get along with and remember no matter whether they had been in your company years hours minutes or seconds. It was a priveladge honour and blessing to have you grace my life from the age of 11 to 19 from the times at my house wiv the lads to turning up late to gcse exams to going out on the piss when we got a chance. You had the heart of a lion and i am one of many who now find themselves missing a piece of therre heart. words will never truely be enough to describe how much i will miss you along with all the lads but i know that you are watching down upon all of us with a glowing smile knowing that you are at peace with God having a few drinks because he must have needed you far more my brother. may you rest in peace and until we meet again know that forever there will be a part of you in all of us
All my love big man

Douglas, what can I say?? I'm sooo shocked and saddened to know that you're gone. I remember in school - oh how you could be annoying and funny with your imitations of people and both of us telling each other to shut up constantly without giving up 'no you shut up' LOOOOOOL. I remember soo much; you bursting into the English lesson late with your bag on one shoulder, red in the face and breathing so hard 'I'm late because some stupid bus driver wanted me to pay to get on the bus and I kept telling him I'm 16 and I'm going to school, he wouldn't even believe me'. Oh my you were such a character and soo bubbly - I can't actually believe this is happening/this has happened. Put in a good word for me up there in heaven :). Rest in Perfect Peace x

R.I.P. Dougie, you were a really lovely guy and I can still hear your laughter ringing in my ears, such a joyful happy laugh. You led a life full of happiness and you were always surrounded by loved ones. I'm so glad my Mum had you around to talk to and laugh with, she thought of you as her best friend. I'll miss you staying over with us and I'm actually really upset at what has happened. xxxx lots of love holly (ruby's daughter) xxxx
Holly Riggs
I remember on the first day of sixth form I went up to you and said "Hi, my name's Nia" and you replied with "Near to what??". You were the highlight of my spanish lessons and gave the best first impression. You will never be forgotten xx
Nia Davies
It was a pleasure to have known you. You'll be greatly missed. My thoughts are with you're family.
Sam Morley
I was introduced to you by a mutual friend and instantly we became friends too, because thats the kinda guy you are, easy to get alone with, kind, honest, friendly, caring and funny. I was only lucky enough to meet you a few times but I will honestly never forget you. Love you Doug. Richele + ur lil buddy talib xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Richele Bridge
Douggie, my dear friend..can't believe you've left so abruptly. We're all shocked and awfully sad here in Cesena, everybody loved you and remembers you, your jokes, your laughters. Being with you made all of us just happy, that's it!
Remember our holidays in Pitigliano, Puglia, Asturias...just laughing all the time.....Wherever you are, don't feel lonely, as we are and will always be with you, rest in peace sweet-heart. Silvia and all your Italian friends
Silvia Biondi
Doug was one of my closest and dearest friends, I can't believe what has happened, my strawberry blonde iron fist Douggie fresh! My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. Love you Douggie forever xx
Rikette (Ricky) Genesis
I never knew Douglas or the family for as long as some people but I knew him long enough to know he is a great person. The stories he used to tell always made me laugh, when someone was upset Douglas would do what he could to help. My thoughts and condolences go out to the family. Anything I can do don't hesitate to ask. He was a credit to your family. R.I.P. Douglas

Seems like so long ago you and Dom had me in utter hysterics! It was great to see you again at Jo's wedding, and fantastic to hear of you going to uni.

Leona La'Belle
Douglas, I only really knew you when we were very young. And i think it is when you are very young (11-15) that you are the most impressionable. You made a lasting impression on me. You were the kindest most thoughful boy and you always managed to make me smile. Your intelligence was inspiring and your humour side-splitting. You were destined for big things. Rest in Peace lovely. You will never be forgotten.

Samantha Moore
Even tho I have seen you or spoke to you in years, it brought me great sadness to hear that you was no longer among us. At school we always had such a laugh, I can remember so many storys. One that's flooding back to me now is when we got kicked out of assemble because we was so mad that we didn't get into the choir cus we both knew we was bloody great. We started shouting out that it wasn't fair and we was just as good, all we wanted was the dairy milk chocolate lol. Mr wentworth and mr calvey was giving us one of there lectures but we couldn't stop laughing. Your be missed by so many people Douglas you was a true gift. Sleep well old friend xxxxxxx

Debbie Dalgarno
Douglas, it doesnt feel real... when they informed me tuesday i didnt know what to do with myself. the world seemed to be crumbling down, the time i spent with you were some of the happiest. You Sian and I were the 'three muskateers' we were a little pack. Even when you and i had our little tiffs over opinions we would laugh about them five mintues later, and that showed me how good of friends we were. The days we would stay up in your kitchen for hours and the three of us would sing songs and act like absolute crazy people. Sian and I always knew your love for politics and I still remember your face when we brought you the Marget Thatcher dvd from the library. Its so hard for me to go into my flat knowing that yours is right next door. Even though you are gone... my love for you stays strong. Our time will never be forgotten, i have the happiest memories with you. You never failed to make Sian and I laugh.. and now everytime we watch a sad movie we will think of all the movies that you watched us..and when we paint out nails, I will look for you to pick the color that would look good on me.. Meeting your family was such a highlight for me, knowing that those people brought such a lovely person into this world...When my brother and his friends came from America you welcomed them with opened arms, I could not have asked for ANYTHING more. I will be seeing you soon ..<3 i love you so much
Alexis Vouros
Gone 2 soon,you was a great person wiv a big heart 2 share wiv loads. our condolences go 2 Dougies family....Always remembered,never forgotten..R.I.P
debbie dalgarno
I was pretty shocked and very sad at the news of Douggie's departure.I met him several times,both in Cesena and in London.He was a special guy,absolutely great at interacting with anybody,witty,smart and extremely curious about everything.Despite our great difference,concerning age,we had a few nice chats together at Silvia's and in London as well.He made people happy with his joy and liveness,an irrevocable loss indeed.
I want give his family the most heart-felt condolences and my simpaty, Iam sure he will never be forgotten by anybody who had the wonderful chance of meeting him and enjoying his company.
With love and friendship. Maria Pia Ghirotti

Hey Dougie...Man, what to say, we used to talk about allsorts, more often than not in more of a heated debate manner. The most opinionated person I knew. I remember sitting with you in an Irish pub on St. Patrick's Day and out of nowhere you started going on about the IRA! Ha...thought i'd have to box us all out of that situation! I remember you sitting up with me and my mum talking all night with unconsicous bodies scattered around the front room after a night of frivolity! We had some good discussions fam...My heart goes out to your family, your death was a shock to everybody. I hope your soul has found happiness. You will always be one of the '3 gingers'...You, me and Max. Love you loads...God bless...Rest in Peace brother.

Doughie was my daughters best friend at uni and it's so difficult for me to know how much she is missing you. Right now she is in the kitchen you both spent so much time in. My heart breaks with sadness at the loss of someone who made my daughter smile, laugh and enjoy uni.
Today at 2 pm I prayed for you to help guide sian through her exams. Doughie please keep an eye on Sian from up above because I know you were her closest friend.
Love jackie
Jackie Coombs
It feels odd that I saw you a few weeks ago. But I could easily say that you were one of the people that supported me in what I do. I truly believe if you were still here today you would of had a good future.
It doesn't feel so long ago that we were in having all sort of conversations in college, I do miss those times.

Douggie, we just met a few times but I've always remembered you with great pleasure, especially that night at "Sticky Fingers" a few years ago! We spent such a nice time with you and your family! ...And when you came to Cesena, what nice chats we had in spite of our difference in age ! You were like an old friend. I remember that you once said you would have liked to live here in Cesena ! Filippo was so impressed about your being so mature for you age and he was shocked like everybody else to know about your departure. My heart is close to you mum and dad and your whole family in grieving for you. You will never be forgotten...... Annalia

"Since we stay not here,
being people but of a day abode,
and our age is that of a fly
and contemporary with a gourd,
we must look somewhere else
for an abiding city,
a place in another country
to fix our home in,
whose walls and foundations in God,
where we must find rest,
or else be restless for ever."

Hey Bro,
Missing you has always and thinking of the fun times. I am just hear living in the memories of a song...
Even though you feel far
like a distance star
i will still wish you a Happy Christmas 2011.
Until then .. we will chat with you in 2012...
Anthony Cadien
Thought about you today. Was in the middle of a debate, and thought you'd be just the person to help me to win, though I won anyway. I mean, I had to pull out all the stops. I knew how much you'd laugh at me if you were watching me and I lost! :p
I've missed your advice recently. Even when I didn't like some of the advice you had to give me, it was always what I needed to hear. Even when critical it was comforting.
I wish you could tell me what I should do. Because I know it'd be the most helpful thing anyone could have said. I know you aren't here to tell me, but maybe you could show me, yeah? You know, put in a word with the Good Guy and ask for some Divine Inspiration? An Angelic Visit? Come down for a brief visit? I mean, if anyone could convince Him, it'd be you.
Your first Christmas with The Man himself, eh? Bet you had a right laugh. Does heaven have a Facebook alternative? Wouldn't that be awesome to see? I can imagine photos of you at the Christmas party. Jesus in the front pointing at little nativities going 'It's me!! Hey, I was born with more hair than that!!' and you sat in the corner with a pint and with ol' Churchill, discussing Christmas before the interfering Politically Correct Brigade came along... You have to save the stories for me. I'll want to hear them when I see you again.
Miss you Doug. You're never forgotten, and always thought of xx

Doug, we will be raising a glass to friends and family tonight and just to let you know u willl be top of the list xxxxx happy new year xxxxx Gone but never forgotten
