I'm still trying to contact his boss at vmware to share the link as well if anyone else from vmware is on this list please contact me. Thanks
I know Doug loved Flex and the Apache Flex community was something he was very proud to be a member of. If it is possible to link to his memorial page even for a little while that would be nice. Doug saved his wife from a not so good situation in Canada and married her and moved her to USA. Her facebook page is mostly public so that is why I linked to it. His wife and daughter really have nothing as Doug was their lifeline. She is moving in with a friend for now but I feel driven to make this a good fund drive effort to give a little back to her for all Doug gave to us. Even my wife is sharing the link with hundreds of her online friends who are willing to make a small $5 donation to lift up Doug's wife and daughter. Thanks for anyone who can donate and share this page with a few kind words for Doug.
