Robert Shepherd wrote a sympathy message

“I worked with Doug as a fellow council of governments (COG) director 1973-2002. He was a leader in that role and set high standards and developed model programs for others to emulate. He hired and helped develop many capable professionals. And he was a friend. His contributions will live on.”
