He came to Princeton from Amherst Central High School in Snyder, N.Y., where he was president of the student council, a member of the Honor Society, and participated in Hi-Y and Glee Club. At Princeton, he was a member of Orange Key and of Elm Club.

After graduation, Doug joined Marine Midland Bank in Buffalo, and he rose to the level of vice president. In 1969, he accepted a position with City National Bank in Detroit, and in 1983, he transferred within the company and moved to Ann Arbor. In 1990, he was named president and chief executive officer, a position he held until retirement in 1998.

Doug is survived by his wife, Lucia; sons Tim ’95 and his wife Stephanie, and Andy and his wife Emily; and grandchildren Clara, Dillon, Teddy, and Eloise. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
