My heart is so heavy ! Especially for his family & all you Pomona Sagehens. My sister, Erin Popovich, shared the news with me tonight. I have such fond memories of walking from Pitzer campus to Pomona's looking for Doug & company (you know who you are) to only have the best of times. I am so sorry for this loss. RIP Dougā¤

Patricia,
We met once, a few years ago over dinner in San Francisco. Doug was my Pomona College, sophomore year roommate. We decided to combine room numbers to get a suite in Smiley dorm. The year before, we lived in adjacent halls, and discovered, I think, that we would be compatible roommates as we had different interests, and friends, but they all overlapped. It did work. I lost touch with Doug over the years. Reading the recollections of his strong views and defense of his positions, and his fierce love for his family, was no surprise. The hat thing I don't remember. Strength and serenity Patricia, I wish those for you.

Dear Patricia & Family: My sincerest condolences on the loss of your dear husband and father, Doug. I will always remember my initial meeting with your family at Lincoln Middle School when you first moved to Pullman, and how dapper I thought Doug was in his fedora (all of the way from Chicago!). I will always remember his kindness and gentle manner, but especially how fiercely he loved his children and advocated for them. I know he will be deeply missed by you all. I am so sorry for your loss.

Doug and I were friends for about 20 years, we got to be good buddies through paddle and later on golf. There was no better guy to hang out with and just have fun with then DP. He was competitive but he enjoyed the camaraderie with sports more than the game itself. Don't get me wrong he liked to win, and so do I but we both understood winning is not everything and it's about the fun you have while competing. Trash talk and one line zingers were his specialty, he could give it out but he could also take it. The old saying goes you really get to know a person when you play a round a golf. They bare their soul to you as golf is a frustrating sport, you miss way more than you make. I got to know Doug really well through the game of golf, we played over 100 rounds together and we went on some golf trips to pebble beach and scotland. I do know he loved his family very much, he talked about them often after a round of golf over dinner and a beer. He was a down to earth guy who loved family, friends and sports. We often talked about business as he was a small business owner, and he was always interested to find out what worked and what did not work in my business. He loved to share ideas whether a golf tip or business idea. He was a great guy to be around someone who you can trust and someone who had your back. They don't come along much better than DP. DP will be missed by all who knew him. I got one piece of advice for the guys up in heaven with him, don't play poker with him as you will lose.

Patricia and Pendry family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I knew Doug thru Tad and Tom. I always was excited when he joined us out. He was a great guy, and always made our group a little bit more fun and entertaining. God Bless, Steve Kocian

Patricia gecondoleerd met het verlies van Doug. I can not imagine the loss you have. Having met you, Doug, his mom for the start of my PT career here in Chicago brings back memories. Having you and your family over for Sinterklaas in our coach house many years ago brings back more memories. I am so sorry for your loss.
Greetings: Marit McCausland and Ricardo, Sebastian and Gabriel

Patricia, Sebastian, Sabine, Tim and Luc, I will never look at a nice pair of shoes or stylish hat, without thinking of Doug Pendry. Loved how he did everything with class, how he spoke and interacted with his family was precious. I hope the memories give you strength, those good qualities will live on through you, when you smile, he is smiling. May you find peace knowing he is resting in peace. Sending our love, Jeff, Alyce, Marty and Jared Anderson
