Joan Butler wrote a sympathy message

“Doug was a gentle giant with a smile and “Hello” for everyone. We shared time in the scullery at Groton Community Meals until he moved to the crew at Thames River Magnet School. He was always willing help in any way and added wise words to GCM Board meetings. I truly value his friendship. Thinking of you all and the loss of a very special person. Joan Butler”
