I believe I worked for Doug back in the day....late 90s at the TGIF in San Francisco? if this be the same man. He always sported that smirk....like he had the key to the kingdom and answers to all of life's problems.....He used to look at me and say, "what are you doing with your life....."....or "what are you gonna do with your life...."...Well, here I am still in SF living large....Thanks to Doug for hiring me off the street replete with former homelessness/mental illness in my background....Thanks Doug. I think about ya alot....RIP sir.....Miss that smirk...

We will miss you Doug! Your legacy as a loving father and husband will live on through your wonderful family! 
To Karen, Justin, Tyler, and Chandler may the love and support of your friends and family give you the strength you need to face these challenging days ahead,

Prayers and thoughts to the entire Besser family. 
It's a very sad day for me....Doug was a great friend to me back in high school.... for a few years we hung out every day.....The basketball floor... football field ... cocco and toast at cooks table.....the golf course changing sprinklers ... Twinkie Doritos and diet 7 up.....camping..... Boating....weekend trips...Lots of fun party time with "Bes"... I will never forget those great memories.....Great Guy.
Was lucky to have know him.


My deepest condolences to Doug's (we called him Hound at Winona State) entire family. We lived in the same house our senior year. Last time I saw Hound was in San Francisco. I feel lucky to have had him as a great friend so many years ago.


My Thoughts and prayers to the Besser Family.  I was Doug's buddy at Winona State, he really loved picking on me, but that mean he really liked me.  One of a kind.

Besser family, I am Doug's cousin Roberta (Bert). Gen and my dad (Donald Minkel) were brother and sister. In fact, my dad was Doug's godfather! I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fond childhood memories of family times together with Doug and my Besser (Minkel) cousins. You will all be in my prayers. May God bless you all and grant you peace.

I am deeply saddened by the news of your loss. I have great memories of golfing with Doug back in high school. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Doug was such a great friend throughout Highschool and though he was a piece of the past.....his death makes a mark.  It's such sad news, may the love of friends and family carry you through this time of sorrow. 

So sorry to here this tragic news, My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May God's loving kindness comfort you and help you through this very sad time
Psalms 29:11
