Obituary

Alan Scott Douglas, 72, of Pocasset died unexpectedly at home on November 16, 2015.

He was born in Boston, MA, a son of David and Margaret Douglas.

He graduated from Bourne High School and Swarthmore College with a degree in Electrical Engineering.

He was employed at Benthos until retiring two years ago. In retirement, he continued to pursue his various interests: gardening, antique radios, authored several books, historical research and restorations, including rebuilding local stone walls.

He was a man with keen intellect and a generous spirit who selflessly shared his time and knowledge.

He will be deeply missed by his siblings.

There will be a Memorial Service at the West Falmouth Friends (Quaker) Meetinghouse at a later date. Please consult Nickerson-Bourne Funeral Home 40 MacArthur Blvd., Bourne, MA for details and to leave online condolences to the family.

Memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice in Alan's name.
