Douglas Lee Slotten

I learned that Doug had passed away only recently. I was very sorry to hear about that, and I would like to send my condolences to Elin, Chelsi, and Kirsten.

I had the opportunity to work with Doug on several proceedings during the time I was with the Commission. He was a brilliant lawyer and a very nice person, and I always enjoyed working with him. When the Commission was in the building on 12th Street, Doug and I were on similar schedules and we often walked together to the...

I am so sorry to hear of Doug´s passing. I got to know him over the past twenty-some years during walks between the FCC headquarters building and Smithsonian metro station. I enjoyed hearing about his wife and daughters, his life growing up in rural Iowa, his time in the Army and Vietnam, trips to the storytelling festivals, and whatever work matter he was currently occupied with. He has been and will always be an inspiration to me.

I fondly remember working closely with Doug when I started at the FCC in the early 1990s. Doug was fun to work with and a great mentor. I learned so much from him and really appreciated his good judgment, his practical savvy, his commitment to public service, and especially his sense of humor. I also enjoyed the stories he told and the affectionate way he talked about his daughters Kirsten and Chelsi and his wife Elin. I wish his family my deepest condolences; may he rest in peace.

May his soul rest in peace. Doug was such a great friend. I had the honor to meet him when I lived in the Washington, DC, area back in 2017 or 2018. He was a great guy with such a wonderful sense of humor. He was the strongest, most determined person I´ve ever met. Although an amputee and blind, he was a GS 15 at the federal communications commission. He was so determined and quite an inspiration. May his soul rest in peace. My heartfelt sympathies for your loss, Kyrsten and Chelsea.

Hi - Doug took me out to lunch on my very first day at the Federal Communications Commission back in late August 1985. We enjoyed innumerable conversations over the years, given our common Midwest upbringing (indeed, my father was Iowa born-and-bred!) and love of baseball. I have missed him!

We met Doug before wedding & I attended it. Wonderful man, funny, very intelligent

Sorry to hear about Doug and sorry we have not seen him for a awhile condolences to Elon Kristin and Chelsea from Emerson family
