Douglas George Cochrane ’39

Three years after suffering a debilitating stroke, Doug died May 12, 2004, in Peterborough, N.H., where he and his wife, Evie, had moved to be near his son and daughter-in-law.

Drafted during World War II, Doug served in Panama, the Philippines, and New Guinea, attaining the rank of captain. After study at NYU's Graduate School of Business, he was certified as a public accountant in 1948. He joined Haskin & Sells (now Deloitte & Touche), was made a partner in 1957, and remained there until retirement.

A longtime resident of Darien, Conn., he was consultant with the National Executive Service Corps for the Northside Develop-ment, a Harlem, N.Y., school and clinic for children with learning disabilities. He was a board member and treasurer of Darien Community YMCA.

Doug's favorite sports were hockey and golf. He played for St. Nicholas Hockey Club, America's oldest amateur club, and golfed in the United States and Great Britain with the Connecticut Seniors in his retirement.

Doug and Evie (the former Evelyn Makepeace) were married in 1943. She survives, as do their daughter Candace and son Douglas Jr., four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. To all we offer our deep sympathy.
