R. Dobie Langenkamp

Dobie was a senior at Central when I was a sophomore. I knew him as a sub on the basketball team. He made up for talent with enthusiasm and a will to succeed. From reading his accomplishments, I see how his drive on the BB court translated into life success. Way to go Dobie, Coach Ehlers would be proud.

I´m embarrassed I just learned of Dobie´s death. He was always ahead of me! Met in the late 1970´s at the National Petroleum Council´s committee on the strategic petroleum reserve. We came up with a great plan - which worked, most recently when President Biden used it to moderate oil prices after Putin invaded Ukraine. More importantly, we became friends for the next 40 years. Dobie was a great man and great friend. I have no doubt he´s in Heaven.

Rest in peace

I can remember when he joined Doerner, Stuart, Saunders (and years later Langenkamp, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Young, Sweet, confident, very intelligent new attorney. I interacted with Dobie because I worked for Reading & Bates. He was aways helpful, willing and very knowledgeable. Loved knowing him when we were both very young and just starting our "grownup life". A little humor: when I asked him a question, not being a lawyer my self.. I joking would tell him I was just askIng for the time.. not...

A terrific teacher and role model. Always positive, witty and energetic. A good friend. Also a great collection of sage sayings. I´ll miss our visits. Bill Mildren

To Dobi's family:

Thank you for lending us, at the Department of Energy, this smart, kind, funny, hard-working man. It was a pleasure to work alongside Dobi and to be recognized by him during his exiting luncheon.

Dobi truly respected people from all cultures. Most importantly, he was happy to return to his beloved family and home state of Oklahoma.

May you find peace knowing his genuine kindness has remained on my mind, and in my heart, for the last 25 yrs....

Saddening to learn of Doby's passing. While we were on contact only intermittently Doby was a friend and when we'd bump into each other he'd always ask the about the state of geothermal. I spoke to his TU law class several times. He will be missed. Kindly advise when & where a get together is scheduled.

Sandra, my condolences. My work with Dobie has left me and my family with many memories of his wit and kindness. My daughter will never forget being the only child allowed at your home for ELJ parties. "May his memory be a blessing" is an apt Jewish saying.

An intriguing and charming dinner guest and definitely a person of great interest. It was always a treat to run into Sandra and Dobie around Tulsa and catch up on their travels and the kids. What a loss to Tulsa! Karen Nelson
