Douglas Black 1948 - 2006

It is with deep regret that we announce the sudden passing of Douglas at his home in Edinburgh on Tuesday 12th September.

Douglas joined the firm in 1990 and was a well established member of the Hewits "family". As our company accountant, Douglas's contributions to this company during his 17 years of dedicated service were many and varied. Most importantly, keeping the company on the 'straight and narrow'. Douglas was a great storyteller, and we will all remember many delightful and memorable moments in his presence. He hated the phone ringing and used to shout at it regularly, so the office is now a much quieter place without him around.

Douglas will be dearly missed by his friends at J. Hewit & Son and fondly remembered by all. He is survived by his beloved wife Margaret.
