Letter From Prescott Niles on Doug...
Dedicated to my Friend and Bandmate
DOUG FIEGER…
Restless and weary as i pine away the moments whilstlistening to Chopin’s c# minor etude. the pathos and despair heard in this music only match my own as i dwell in the silence, the silence that only an Imminent death can inspire. Doug may not make it to the morning light his spirit on the verge of going home to his higher power, his God of salvation. He has fought for the life that at one point was a given, a free-choice to do as he would to fall or to reign!
Though the regrets and judgments have fallen to the wayside and all that is left is the purity andvbeauty of his innocence, now returning in it’s fullest glory. i cannot now find peace as i once knew it. Doug, the source of friction and continual joy in my life is now perched to shed his mortal frame
that has been ravaged by the curse of cancer. Though his body has wasted away, His Spirit shines as never before. His whole man rises from the ashes
and awaits his maker, unashamed and expectant of the rewards he has earned.
The lives that Doug has touched and saved as a result of his own repentance, has echoed to the the highest steeple in the Heavens above. Souls were set free by his witness for the saving power of the AA program that at one time saved him from his own self inflicted demise.
Doug’s spirit now shines in a brilliant radiance one that he could never have imagined could ever be. Today he wears the purple robes of a King, for this tough Leo has finally claimed his sovereignty, after heading down a road he never expected to travel on. The countless friends that have offered their tearful farewells are but a grain of sand on life’s beach. My 31 years + with Doug have been a journey and a ½. I shall never forget and ever be thankful for. the peaks and the valleys that could never have been more extreme, more unpredictable ,or more exciting .The chance to be at your bedside holding you close and whispering to you as the tears fell, just how much i love you in return for the privilege to have known and worked with you for these 31+ plus years.
In one of our private moments you shared with me that one of your most haunting regrets was that you wished that you had really taken the time to understand and Bruce and to have been a more loving friend!
Well Doug, you now have eternity to embark on this mission as i pray that Bruce will be there awaiting your arrival with hugs kisses and an outstretched hand assuring you that all is well and welcome home.
I love you Doug and for now, say adieu my
Knack brother and eternal friend!!!!!
Prescott Niles xx
