Dear Mendini family, Today I thought of Doug, and decided to look him up. I was shocked to see that he had passed in May. I was a friend that knew him in the 1970's. I remember him as a writer. In fact, he wrote a poem for me. I have many happy memories of the times we spent together. I send you peace. KATHY KAY

Although it's been many years since I last saw you, I remember all the good times, Douglas.

Dear Mendini Family, Pat & I were so saddened to hear of Doug's passing. We both remember him as a student at the Central School, in Marlboro Twp., NJ. Doug was a bright, warm and congenial student with a great smile. We share in your sorrow and will pray for his eternal rest. Our deepest sympathy to all, Jim & Pat

You are truly one of those lifelong friends to me and my entire family. Also sharing a birthday with a wonderful lady who helped get you published for the very first time! Next month, there will be a huge party up there. I will miss you terribly.

Doug, like almost anyone who knew you I felt blessed by our friendship. You had a great impact on my life in so many ways. Rest peacefully, brother.

Our thoughts and prayers to all the family.

This is a loss for so many people. You were a great friend and mentor to my son Andrew and will be greatly missed by him. I am sorry I did not get the chance to get to know you better. RIP Doug
