We only got to know him within the last two years when we moved out here. He would play trivia on our team pretty consistently at AJ O Brady’s and he couldn’t have been a nicer individual. We are really going to miss him and talking with him at trivia nights.
Just found out about his passing.Went to St.Mary Grade school and Messmer H.S. '64 to '75. As others have said,he was truly a nice person.Sorry that we lost touch in our later years.

In our hearts he will always stay, Loved and remembered every day. Happy memories silently kept, No need for words, we'll never forget. I am so sorry for you loss. You are such a dear friend and I want you to know that you and your family are thought of and I will hold you
Blase was such a good friend throughout our lifetime. Played sports against Blase in grade school. Played sports with Blase in high school. Traveled together and just hung out. So many great memories over the years. The entire Collura family is so special in large part because of Blase.
Doug you will truly be missed, so sad to see such an amazing and bold soul be gone sooo soon. May you be smiling down and laughing with all of us from up above. Ill miss you and always being funny and making me smile on the show room. Dance, laugh, and smile for all
You were always such a fun guy and you lit up the room. You couldn’t NOT smile or laugh when Doug was present. My husband truly enjoyed working with you, and the nickname you gave me will continue on. Rest peacefully...Many miss you already.
