So sorry to hear of COL Doehle's passing. We heard this at church from Wendy and Walter Tibbetts. We were all stationed in Holland in 1983 when Doug was the commander. Perry was a lieutenant and it was our first assignment. I worked as a secretary for the deputy commander (Tibbetts). It was a wonderful command and great place to be stationed together. So sorry for the family's loss.

Have fond memories of Doug as an upperclassman at old OSC. He always seemed to be upbeat and happy and a solid member of SPE.

In my 59 years of Military/Civilian service, working with and for thousands of Officers of all grades, COL Doehle stands out in my memory as the best. We had a great Battalion (REX VIE)and a lasting friendship. Will miss his Christmas messages. GOD BLESS.

This is Sylvia from Minnesota. I had called you folks on a chance that you were relatives and did a little correspondence afterwards. You have my sympathy. Had always hoped to get that way as there is also family just north of you up into Canada and we have friends in Seattle. Again am thinking of you in your loss.
