Doug died of cancer Oct. 16, 2014, at an assisted-living facility near his family home in Bridgeville, Pa., just before his 88th birthday.
At Princeton, Doug was a member of Cloister Inn, worked Reunions, and graduated with a degree in history. His entire business career was in the tire industry, first with Goodyear, and later with two other companies before he retired in 1990. He was involved in volunteer work throughout his life.
Doug had a continuing strong interest in Princeton, including regular attendance at Reunions. He mentioned in our 50th-reunion book that his Princeton years had given him “many happy memories, and provided a degree of self-discipline when … faced with deadlines.”
The news of his death came from his widow, Dorothy, whom he married in June 1949, 10 days after her graduation from Wellesley. Doug also is survived by their daughter, Dorothy; son Paul Jr.; seven grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
