Served in Stuttgart Germany. We were teammates on the softball and flag football teams. While attending ANCOA at Ft Sam Houston, Tx. he spent many weekends at my apartment. BBQing at the pool side or at Canyon Lake. He will be missed but never forgotten.

From Rochelle Helton. I remember one night in Stuttgart me Helton, Tripkoswski and Sergeant Kroll went out. Not sure how that even came about lol but just say the night was hilarious and I believe someone ended up with a chipped tooth RIH

I was Doug's supervisor in Stuttgart Germany. He was the only male besides myself. He was stuck with ALL the heavy lifting but never complained because he was strong as an ox. Thanks for the many memories my BROTHER. GREAT SOLDIER, GREAT MAN! Condolences to the family.

I first met Doug when our sons became teammates at the University of Delaware. He made it a point to stress to me that their college careers will fly by and to be sure to catch EVERY moment of it that you can. He was soo right.
His passion and joy in watching David do his thing for the Hens was something. R.I.P. Doug.
Thoughts and prayers from the Hendersons.
