My father just died on 11/10/07 and he also had Amyloidosis.  As you know, it is very rare.  He was seen by Drs. here and he also went down to the Mayo Clinic.  My father was 77 years old and he had a good life, but the last few years were devastating.  With kidney dialysis, three times a week.  In fact he fell at dialysis and that was the beginning to the end.  I would like to know what you

My father just died on 11/10/07 and he also had Amyloidosis.  As you know, it is very rare.  He was seen by Drs. here and he also went down to the Mayo Clinic.  My father was 77 years old and he had a good life, but the last few years were devastating.  With kidney dialysis, three times a week.  In fact he fell at dialysis and that was the beginning to the end.  I would like to know what you understood about the disease.  My dad had the racoon eyes and blood spots all over.  His blood pressure became very, very low.  All symptomatic of amyloidosis.  I am sorry for your loss.  If you would write to me or get in touch with me, I would appreciate it.  The disease is so hard to understand.  What we heard is that his organs were hardening like cement and it was very rare.  Again, my condolences for your loss.  Deb Voss

I met Doug several years ago, in an awkward circumstance.  He was immediately open and genuinely friendly to me  -like he was each time we met after that first time.  I will always remember his huge smile and jow he was interested in everything we talked about.  Clearly, he loved to know people and I am thankful that I had the chance to know him - even so briefly.

I also know that he loved Kelly and his family so very much and I offer my sincere condolensces for their great loss.  He was a warm and exceptional man and I will remember him well.    

I remember Kelly and Doug's wedding day like it was yesterday! Doug was so handsome and Kelly looked just like a Princess!  It was like a fairy tale and they were perfect together!  I will always remember Doug for his great smile, and wonderful sense of humor.  He will be deeply missed by anyone who knew him.
