Well I was looking up old friends and stumbled across this site. I was stationed with Doug at Plattsburgh AFB, NY and we went through the Bachelors program with SIU together. Nothing but fond memories about Doug and I am sorry for your loss. Keep your head up and smiling as Doug wouldn't want it any other way. Take care.

When Tiny Dancer comes on the radio, Jackie always says, “this is mine & Doug's song”. Then she turns up the volume & sings (I swear she pictures you singing it with her!).
Happy birthday Doug.

I met Doug while at Andrews AFB in Maryland. We were both stationed at Det.1, 375 AAW. I still have a picture of him sitting in front of his self portrait, and imitating the picture itself which was quite funny. In this age Facebook, I tried to find him, only to see that he had passed. My deepest sympathy to his family.

I was stationed with Doug at Det 1, 375 MAW 1989-1991. I was honored when he asked me to re-enlist him in an AF helicopter ride while flying over various landmarks in the Washington DC area. He was an outstanding young man and I was honored to be his Commanding Officer. I just recently heard of his passing and wanted to pass my condolences and fond memories of him on to you. You all have every reason to be proud of his service to his country and the manner in which he conducted himself. He was a delightful person. My sincere sympathy to his family. Connie Belmore

I went through basic training with Doug, was his roommate in tech school and was stationed with him at Andrews where we remained very close friends. He was one of the smartest and funniest guys I have ever known. I lost touch with him after he left the military. I have a lot great memories from the old days. I have a few pictures of him. If you would like me to email them to you I would be glad to. You can contact me at [email protected]. My deepest sympathy to his family.

I miss Doug. I read this website often, if anyone else wants to jot down their thoughts. People say I can't believe it's been two years, but to me these last two years have seemed to go on forever. I try not to look forward or back, because it's just too overwelming for me. I've grown alot in these last two years. I feel weathered and wiser. You learn to rely on you, when there's no one else to rely on. It's lonely but at the same time, you become stronger. To lose your mom and your husband early in life is hard. They are your two main emotional supports. I used to rely on everyone and anyone emotionally to help me get through the day. But people get busy with their own lives and concerns. It's amazing how my phone doesn't ring anymore. You start to be and feel like a nuisance or you just don't have anything to say. Or you're afraid to ask people to help you. Or your anxiety is so overwelming, it's better not to talk. Talking to people just doesn't solve anything anymore. And then you learn, you're alone. And you get somewhat used to it. I asked, "When will I feel better?" The answer is... You don't ever feel better. You just begin to feel different. You just find a way to adapt. Or you look for something or someone to replace the emptiness. Or I think for some, they just go on being lonely. That's what I'm scared of. The daily minute things in life become so trivial to you. When people complain about their husbands and wives, I just want to say... Stop and think! Be happy they're there. Tell them you're happy that they're there. Stop and imagine what your life would be like if they were gone. Stop and try to imagine in your head. Go through your daily routine and how you would get through everything that needs to be done in your life without that other person. The one thing I've noticed is that people seem to never truely be happy. People always seem to want or dwell on something better or different. They miss what's right in front of them. They take alot for granted. I know I did. It's amazing how one person, who leaves this earth effects so many in so many different ways. It's amazing how now I realize what a BIG person Doug really was. How my family and friends are trying, as well as me, to get through the day without him. And how I can't help them even though I want to. Me and your children MISS YOU!!! Thank you to everyone for all your help getting me through the last two years. I'm waiting for time to heal all.

Time moves so fast. We can't believe it's a year. Not a day goes by that we don't have some memory. Just the other night we were eating wings and Glenn brought up how you only ate one bite before tossing your wing into the "I'm done basket". Alexion's trips will never be the same. We miss you and will always remember the crazy good things about you.

Dear Bado family,
I am very sorry to hear of this tragic news. Doug was one of my favorite people at Slippery Rock. We sat side-by-side for years at fraternity meetings and had many wonderful memories as friends and brothers. He was truly one of the funniest and most genuine people I knew. I grieve his passing.
With much respect and smpathy,

I loved Doug Bado. He was one of the funniest guys I had ever met. We were Frat brothers and friends.
Doug spent a month working with me in Long Island in the summer between fresh and soph years. We painted a couple of houses ( well kind of) and had the time of our lives.

Just heard of Doug’s passing and wanted you to know how very sorry we are. It’s never easy to lose someone you love but it’s comforting to know that they’ll live forever in your hearts. It’s the little things that you’ll remember - the smiles and laughter and even the quiet moments.
Although it’s hard to believe now, those little memories will help to ease the pain and will even bring a smile back to your heart. These are the memories that you’ll treasure forever.
You’re in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lynnann,

Bado and Donnelly family:
All of you have been in our prayers since the beginning Doug's demise. There are no words we can say to make anyone feel better. I remember meeting Doug at Kathy and George's house one day while he was home on leave. What a good looking soldier!
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I have also worked with Doug (Dougle was my name for Doug) at ESA. He had such a wonderful smile and sense of humor. I would often go into "Dougle's Office", and he would share pictures of his girls and wife Lynn. He was a beautiful person and had a beautiful soul. I will sadly miss him.

So sad to hear about Doug. Even though I haven't seen him in more than 20 yrs., The memories of Doug Bado are so vivid, all of the songs of the eighties, flooding back, cruising, partying, and just plain old hanging out. So many here have said, again and again, he was always smiling, and was a good friend. I am so sorry for your families' great loss. My prayers are with you.

Dear Bado Family,
I had the pleasure of working with Doug at Edgar Snyder & Associates. He was always quick with a smile and brightened my day when I'd see him. I will never forget the unique photos of his kids in his office - especially the clothesline! What a proud daddy! He got the biggest kick out of his nameplate coming back as "Baldo" and that became my name for him. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time.

My sincere condeloences to the entire Bado and Donnelly Families ,and their extended families on the passing of my brother in "Air Force Blue" ,,,,Doug. ...I will always cherish the day in 1987 he visited me at the Federal Building in Pittsburgh with his intention of joining the United States Air Force. We did our thing to make it happen and Doug went off into the Wild Blue Yonder serving his country for nine years with great pride. May He now rest in Eternal Peace ...

Dear Bado Family,
I had the pleasure of meeting Doug in Kindergarten and remained friends throughout High School. Although we hadn’t kept in touch, since graduation, I am very saddened by his passing. I am, however, not surprised at all by the other comments left here. He was a funny and good hearted kid who grew into someone of good and strong character and a friend to all. He will be missed by so many.
May God Bless you and your family at this extremely difficult time.

I had the pleasure of working with Doug at Edgar Snyder for quite some time.

I remember seeing one of "his girls" in Halloween costumes, they were so cute. He will be missed. Our prayers go out to you Lynnann and your family.

I knew Doug from Slippery Rock, and he was clearly, one of the funniest, wittiest, most creative people I had ever met. I'm so sorry for the loss of this valuable man, even though it's been ages since we spoke, I see by the other condolences that he hadn't changed and was still lightening the lives of those closest to him. My deepest, most heartfelt sympathies to his parents, wife, children, brothers and extended family. My sorrow for your loss is profound.

Mr. & Mrs. Bado, Lynn, Haley & Hannah, Gregg, Geoff and all of the Bado Family,
Words cannot express my sorrow for each of you. Our close knit group of friends has been stung by Doug's passing but I am certain it pales in comparison to your loss. I am amused that most of the postings so far recall Dougs sense of humor as that is truly what our ring of friends will miss the most. Doug had a way of communicating that often had everyone around him laughing. I have so many fond memories of Doug and all of his family and each time I recall a new one a smile comes to my face. I hope that each of you finds some way to be comforted by knowing that Doug will be remembered for bringing smiles and joy to the people that he knew. Please know that each of you are in our thoughts as you go through this painful time dealing with the loss of Doug.
With our deepest sympathies,
Bill & Gina Henderson

I had the opportunity to work with Doug at ESA also. He truly was a wonderful and special person. He made me laugh on a daily basis. He will be missed more than words can express. All of my thoughts and prayers are with his family right now.
