We have missed Douglas every single day of this past year. But the love and support that we have received from all of you, Douglas’ friends, has been so comforting. Just as his friends helped Douglas through the years of his illness, you all have certainly helped in so many ways to fill the void in our hearts. Reading and rereading the notes in this guest book has given us comfort and sustained us with the knowledge that Douglas was much loved and will always be remembered.

Thank you all so much for helping us-with your thoughtful words, prayers and support-to get through this very difficult year without Douglas.

Had lunch with Julie today and she told me about this website. It's a great way to honor and remember Doug.

Mr and Mrs Ishio, you have my deepest sympathy. I met Doug more then 25 years ago at Litton. He will always be remembered in my heart because he was that kind of person.

I will miss him.

Mr. and Mrs. Ishio you have our deepest sympathy.

What a long strange trip it’s been. I have many memories of Doug that I will truly miss along with future adventures not taken. Doug and I worked together a long time ago but that is not what I will miss from someone I can call a remarkable personal friend. We spent many more great times together out of the office. There are many memories from Nags Head North Carolina, where we spent weeks at a time with other friends renting a house, staying up all night talking and crabbing. Then many Ping Pong / Pool parties at Doug’s mom and dads house. Also the Deck building party at Doug’s house. There were also the “recording sessions” to make cassette tapes and then later CD’s. Doug and I have gone hunting locally and one weekend we went deer hunting in western Maryland, it has been said that the deer were always safe when Doug and I went hunting. We also spent a lot of time fishing together, locally and in western Maryland. The fish were not as safe in the water as the deer were in the woods. I will miss Doug for a long time to come.

We'll miss you for a while Doug, but not for good. We'll join you one day. Thanks for being a such a thoughtful friend offering to pay for my health insurance because I had none. Being your fishing buddy and friend was a cherished gift. Until we meet again...Tight lines.

Deepest sympathies to Doug's family. Having worked with Doug for many years at Litton, I was fortunate to get to know a kind, enthusiastic,and creative guy who loved technology (especially PC's). Sitting here looking back, All I can remember is the smile he wore at all times! He will sorely be missed by all.

Sorry to hear about Doug’s untimely passing - I did not know him as long as some of the people here but the times I knew him at Litton, College park was always interesting and never boring. Doug was always upbeat about very thing; he never had a bad thing to say about anybody, only good things.

My deepest sympathy goes to his family and friends.

Our deepest sympathies to Doug's family and friends. I met him 24 years ago and can still recall the day. He was one of the finest, most honorable people I've ever met.

As sad as Doug's passing is, he is in a better place now because of his belief in Jesus Christ. He was instrumental in my accepting Christ as my savior and will always remember him as a friend who helped me understand. Steve Edson

For more than 20 years Doug was one of my closest friends, a co-worker and business partner. I will miss his heartfelt warmth, enthusiasm and encouragement during our lives' twists and turns. To paraphrase a notable saying --it is said that joy shared with a good friend is doubled, while sorrow is halved.

Doug was there for me during my struggles and for that I am forever grateful. Doug was a giver, always thinking of others and how to help them achieve their dreams and goals. He continued to work on his own dreams and goals as he talked to me about people he had just met who could be potential business partners.

Even though Doug's illness and personal struggles kept him more and more housebound, his love of technology enabled him to reach out to us weekly (or even daily) with inspirational and firewall/spyware warning emails. We even marvelled at how he was the one who got all the computer viruses! There were many calls just to talk. While Doug was an engineer by profession, his artistic talents were lent to those wild CD artwork labels he loved to create for the strange music on them. In October, we were both thinking about upgrading our computers. Doug and I debated all the pros and cons of various computers and their specs. He couldn't believe it when I told him that I actually bought a new laptop; that it wasn't just guy talk after all.

To Phil, Connie, Julie and Holly - Doug was a friend and a brother. He touched our lives and so many others. We miss him. Know that God has great plans for Doug and that you remain in our prayers.

What a shock to hear of Doug's passing. I knew him for over 20 years and he was always such a humble and wonderful person to be with. He always was upbeat and had such empathy for others and seldom let his own problems show. He is one of the people that you meet in life that you will always feel honored to have known.

My deepest sympathy goes to his family and friends. He will truly be missed by all that knew him.

With deepest sympathy to the Ishio Family. We mourn the loss of our dear friend and greatest cheerleader. We knew him as a co-worker, a business partner, a close friend and a brother. Doug's life made a positive impact not only on us, but on our entire family. No matter what, Doug was always there for us. His focus was never on himself but on what he could do to help us and others, in spite of his many health challenges. He was a giver who could always find something to give. We will be eternally grateful to him for opening the door and sharing the business opportunity with us which proved to be one of the greatest blessings in our lives. We are so thankful to know that he is now with the Lord and we will see him again. We love you, Doug...and thanks. We know you are cheering us on from the balcony now. We won't let you down. To the family: Remember "earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal." You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Doug, your passing brings a void in all who knew you. You and I worked together many years and shared many good times. Your quick wit, intelligence and laughter will always be remembered. To your family, I offer my deepest sympathy. Rest in peace my friend.

We will miss Doug very much and have the Ishio family in our thoughts and prayers. Doug always had an uplifting word and was ever looking toward others selflessly. His smile and chipper attitude made any meeting or social gathering a more happy place. Many friends and associates looked forward to Doug showing up, as we knew everyone would be better just for being around him. We are excited at the prospect of a wonderful eternity with the Lord together!

We remember Doug as a wonderful upbeat guy, who lit up a room with his wit and good nature. He went through a lot of difficult times over the past few years, and our heart goes out to those who were closer to him during this time. Knowing that he is in Heaven with Jesus is a good thing for him, although it's a tough time for those remaining here.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Doug Ishio. Doug was a precious friend and I will miss him tremendously. He was always there for me through all that life brought our way. Doug was a fine man, and a great friend. He always thought of others before himself. I am grateful to have known him.
