Bass Guitar Player Died

You all did not know him. Suffered from MS for quite a while now.
A couple months ago he seemed to be doing alright.
Name was Doug.
Going to the funeral home Friday. Nice home and no doubt he would have liked it.
Well, all his pain and suffering is now gone, survived by his wife and family.
 
I thought he had a few more years left, guess I was wrong.
Still it just don't seem right.
 
Bye forever, Doug.
He had a Fender Bass used for years, but had stuck humbuckers in it.
Always the sound, always the tone.
And his sense of humor.

    Thanks, I know this forum may not be a place to do this, but
    just kind of shocked that it happened.
     
    Life goes on!

    It never does.
