To all of Dougs family and Leslie we send our heart felt condolences at the passing, of a one of kind , human being. Going to school with him all the way through, playing football, hockey, we had some really great adventures. When i was going to school in Guelph i would drop in and have coffee , lunch or both and sometimes he would put me to work! Definetly interesting! One highlight was when Doug, myself and Pete Lamb drove to Florida in Petes RV for a holiday. In Daytona while bar hopping Doug made a comment that the band sounded great just like the beach boys. I looked on stage and it was Mike love(lead singer for the beach boys) and Jan from Jan and Dean. The 2 had been out as well on a bar hop , walked in and asked the band if they could get up and sing a few beach boys tunes! And they did sing a set full!
He left an indelible mark on me that i will always carry with me with pride. RIP Douglas Peter Alexander Gilchrist
Im going to miss you.
