Not sure what to say?

I grew up with Doug and Dede for 13 years. His parents and family lived next door and we shared our great youth with on another. Doug rest in peace and Dede I send my love to you! Lanz Goldmann

I worked for or with Doug for many years on multiple programs at Boeing. During this time we had to address many technically challenfing issues. He was a great leader always looking for the best and "right" solution to these problems. I will miss his earnestness, humor and support. My condolences to his family.

I worked for Doug on the 777 and 737-NG as well as on a variety of other projects at Boeing. He was a mentor and example for me, including helping me figure out when and how to retire! He treated everyone with respect and everyone respected him. I will miss him.

I am better for having known Doug. His demeanor, logic, technical approach and fellowship will be missed. I will especially miss his humor.
My condolences to his family... please rest assured that his legacy here at Boeing will be long lasting.

Nancy,

So sorry to hear about Doug's passing. To soon for such a man. So fortunate to know him through your friendship. We will miss him.

We've all lost a truly fine human being with Doug's passing. I had the privilege of working with Doug for many years, as a colleague and a friend. Not only was he a technically gifted engineer, he was also an inspirational mentor to so many others. He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.

Jennifer and I were very sad to hear of Doug's passing. Doug was an extremely talented Structures engineer as well as a great person to work with. His contributions and leadership were invaluable to Boeing and the programs he worked on.

Not only was Doug a tremendous loss to his family and friends, he was also a great loss to Boeing, the Structural Engineering profession and his engineering colleagues. He can't be replaced.

Nancy & Family, I am deeply saddened to learn of Doug's passing. I worked for Doug here at Boeing for a number of years and he was a great boss, a fantastic mentor and great motivator. Please accept my condolences.
