Memories and Condolences
for Douglas Wise

I wish to give my condolences to Doug's family. Doug was someone I did not personally know well. But he was a close friend of my Father's and I grew up hearing stories about him and the daily happenings at work. I did meet Doug a few times and he was at my Father's funeral several years ago...giving great support. I encountered Doug elsewhere later and knew I knew him...and he seemed to maybe recognize me...sadly we never came to that current moment of "Hey I know you!" But I am happy I got to know him again even if in a limited way. RIP Doug.

Doug was such a generous man. I remember how excited (and a little nervous) he was to watch his daughters move out the of the dorms into their first house on campus. Man, did his eyes light up when he showed them off. I only met you girls and his son so briefly, but he showed me the photo albums and I remember thinking how much he adored his kids and what a great father he was. I'm so sorry and can't believe he is gone. You all are in my prayers.

Wise,Hariff & Beamer family,
I just heard about Doug's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Doug professionally for 14 years. He gave the best tours at the waste water treatment plant. Bexley Middle School students were lucky enough to have Doug teach them about the importance of taking care of our water. Please know that he touched many, many students with his knowledge and sense of humor as he walked the grounds of the Jackson Pike facilities. He will be missed.

Dear Emily, Stephanie and Joey,
My heart goes out to you. I can not believe Doug is gone. He was my go to person, and honestly my best friend. I can't be lazy now, I have to find his wisdom without being able to talk to him. I can only imagine how hard this is for you; the void it leaves. I am so very sorry for us all.

Dear Family of Doug,
Although we have never personally met, I feel a connection since I knew Doug from the rooms of Lois W. He was a "free spirit" and loved and enjoyed life to its fullest. He had a real spiritual connection with God; which allowed him to love mankind and allow others to live their lives without interference from him--even his children. There's a miracle in everything--even things I might deem as tragedies if I truly l trust God. Please know that Doug is at peace and is celebrating the fact that he did not suffer. May God bless each of you today and days ahead as you come to grip with your certain loss. I recently lost my mother (two months ago) but she's close because of the special memories I have of her.
Blessing and serenity,
Cathy W.

Wise Family,
I am so sad to hear of the sudden passing of Doug. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I know this can not take the pain away that you are feeling right now. With the lost of my father "Buddy" last week I am still hurting so terribly and I know the pain will be there for a very long time. So, all I can say is God bless you and your family and keep Doug and his memories close to your heart and this will help you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Doug since 1979 and I have always considered him a dear friend. I will miss his smile and sense of humor. We had some great times together both at work and socially and he always made me smile when we would see each other and he called me "Sweety Pie". I just can't believe he is gone and I will miss him greatly. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
