I am shocked to learn of Doug’s passing. I had no idea he was ill. I knew him in the 70’s. We met at Somerset County Jr. College in NJ and dated for 5 years. He taught me to ski in Vail, CO and introduced me to many many people. Seems he was known everywhere he went. My condolences to family and friends.
My deepest condolences to the family!
My sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers to the Pearmain family during this difficult time. I have many great memories of working and hanging out with Doug and I will miss him. I especially enjoyed our time teaching skiing together at Paoli several years ago. Doug was always very friendly and helpful to me when I first moved to Indiana in 2007 and started working with Firestone. I know he loved his family very much and my heart goes out to you all. RIP my friend. Until we meet again. Sincerely, Mike Sexton
He will be surely missed. Beside his professional achievements he was very likable person.
