Rest in Peace TRF Member Doug- aka DWBOD.

Hi guys,
I have a sad story to share regarding one of our members DWBOD- Doug Baltrip.
Doug and I spoke yesterday regarding a watch I had for sale here on TRF. He was very cordial, friendly, and we quickly reached an agreement. He sent a bank wire as payment for the watch. I notified him I'd follow up today after receiving the wire.

I missed a call this morning and realized it was from his area code. I checked my voicemail to hear a message from a distraught girl, who informed me she was his sister. She very sadly informed me Doug had died in a car accident early this morning and asked for me to send back the money. I called her and apologized for such a tragic loss. It wasn't easy hearing her weep over the phone and truly made me wish there was something I could do to comfort her. it goes without saying that I'll be refunding the bank wire.

My deepest condolences go out to Doug and his family. Rest in peace Doug. For anyone who knew Doug and would like his address to send condolences, please send me a Pm.

News story can be found here:

RIP. Man.... Sad story. Never know when it's your time. Glad Doug was enjoying his Rolexes, and was probably very excited for his new purchase too....

Thanks for the heads up.
