Douglas Boes passed away after a short struggle with cancer at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center at the age of 69.
Doug was born in Burbank to Warren and Caroline Boes and lived in the area all his life. He graduated from Burbank High School and attended Valley College.He had his own mechanics business and also worked in the motion picture industry.
Doug was the great-grandson of David Buick and was interested in classic cars. He attended car shows locally and across the US in his own classic Buick. He also built and raced his 1968 Dodge Charger for twenty years as a member of the Southern California Timing Association (SCAT). He was an avid reader of science fiction and history.
Doug made many friends over the years and is greatly missed by his special friend, Ruth.

Here are a couple of photos from our 1967 Ceralbus yearbook showing Doug playing his string bass in the dance band and orchestra. Doug grew up in Burbank on Andover and attended Jefferson Elementary, Muir Jr High and Burbank High. I remember Doug to be a very nice fellow.
Doug worked at the studios as well.
