Thomas Marlow wrote a sympathy message

“Sad to read about Doug's sudden passing, my condolences to his family. I worked with Doug on all shifts for several years at the BWL Operations center. He was a fair and decent guy, great to work with under emergency pressures both as a supervisor and coworker. There was a time when 72 was considered old, but these days it seems like the new 50. I will keep him in my thoughts and pray for his family. God bless, Tom Marlow Tom Marlow”
