Douglas leaves behind his loving wife, Elizabeth (nee Blouin), three children: Aisha, JJ, and Kalissa, a granddaughter Mekhia, and many beloved family members & friends.

With a passion for art, Douglas enjoyed a fulfilling career as an Art & Production Director for almost 30 years, most recently in Newark, NJ. A former publisher of the New Jersey Law Journal described Doug as "... a rock of reliability and dependability."  His creativity was also evident in his leisure time, where he loved creating family photo collages to encourage people to stay in touch.  Doug was a diehard Eagles fan but also took pleasure in collecting a variety of NFL jerseys.  He was the person who everyone could count on with no judgement.  He was a proud graduate of the East Orange High School - GO PANTHERS!!!
