Doug Casanta has gone home.

Post by J R Rose »

Sad day today. Long time Buddy and Friend from Florida, Doug
Casanta. Had a Stroke Friday and went home today. He was a really nice guy. He and his wife Kathy were at the Texas show most ever year for a long time.
We e-mailed each other most every week or at least every month.
RIP my Friend.

Thanks Jason. We are all born, live, and die. That is Gods plan.
Doug and I were the same age,(85) so I am living on borrow time.

Doug was a very sweet guy. He always reached out whenever he was around. He loved Kathy, his car, his psg, and New Mexico. We always has a lot to chat about. Ill miss him

Doug was a good egg. I'll never forget when he and Kathy treated my wife and I to 4th row seats to see the Time Jumpers when they came to Orlando. My only chance to see PF.

He had the best collection of Aloha shirts! (Don't call them "Hawaiian shirts" -- he set me straight on that.)
Peace thru music,
Bo
