Dear friends,
We're sorry to have to let you know that Doug died on Friday 21st April at
about 9.30pm. He had begun to get worse on Thursday afternoon after a
difficult week. Alice had been with him since noon on Thursday and his
daughters, Kate and Bonny, his brother Brian and Bonny's husband Dan arrived
on Friday and were there when he died. His stepsons Anselm and Eddie arrived
early on Saturday morning.
He will be cremated on Wednesday (with close family present) and his ashes
will be scattered in Paris. There will also be an informal memorial service
for family and friends. The provisional arrangements for this are for it to
take place on Thursday 27th April at the Institut Britannique (911 Rue de
Constantine, Paris) at 7.30 pm in the library. If these arrangements change
we'll let you know in the next couple of days. There will be space during
this service for anyone who would like to speak to do so.
>From Alice, Eddie, Anselm, Kate, Bonny, Brian.
