Best wishes to you and your new adventure.  We started working together in 2001, that is hard to believe.  Time flies my friend!  From trips to seeing you firing rockets with Ryan, Super Bowl party at your house, and lunch at UTC Mall to you visiting in Dallas for the moves, it was always a pleasure and I hope for nothing but happiness for you and Brenda.

Doug, i don't know where to begin. I know i only worked with you for 10 years but we jammed a lot into that time. We got along so well because we had close birthdays! i know that is why. I will always have fond memories of us playing tricks on each other - toilet seat covers and all. :) Your favorite thing to say to me was "orange jumpsuits" - i will never forget that. Also the time we we setting up printers and you called me a Princess. LOL Thank you for taking a chance on me and allowing me to be on your team. I have learned a lot from you over the years. Thanks for always listening and helping when i needed it. I know you have probably been my biggest fan - now what will i do? LOL  You trained and mentored a lot of people, but the crew at the bottom is the all time best! Enjoy retirement and enjoy the grandbabies! Thanks for your friendship. Will miss you! Stay in touch -

Your favorite :) - Princess, SuperStar, Mrs. Buccarelli, (you had so many names for me i can't remember them all) Stef

Doug,
What an exciting time for you and your wife as you step into your full time roll as grand parents.  Thank you for that initial phone call and giving me a chance to join DLA.  Your expertise and your contribution to the Firm are evident.  Enjoy your retirement and the DIY Dunk Tank! :) -- Janice W.

Doug,

Thank you for everything! We've been through so much together, both personally and professionally. It's hard to believe that you're leaving us. You've played a major part in the success of our department and have had a positive impact to those you've helped and supported. I wish you and Brenda all the best in your new full time roles as grandparents! Be sure to clean up that garage and sell some toys. :)

Take care,
Hoof~

You have always been an advocate for those you work with.  It has been a pleasure being a part of your department and seeing the trust you place in us everyday.  As new programs, and software come and go it is the people that we work with that leave a lasting impression.  You have left a lasting impression on the many you have mentored, and worked with and will continue to be a measuring post that we hold our own conduct to. One final quote for you:  "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Gal 6:9  It is surely your time to reap some peace and quite.

Doug, when i was interviewed for the position at DLA, you were out on PTO and Hoofnagle met with me on his own.  Truth be told, you intimidated me at first and I felt like maybe I dodged a bullet, that somehow I would not have measured up to your standard.  It didn't take long for me to trust and respect you as a leader and as a human being.  When I took a leadership role along-side you , I wondered if I'd be able to measure up as I tried to step into your old shoes, but I'm glad I tried.  For many years we've shared laughter, some tears, some frustration, and compassion.  You've had a positive impact on my experience with the firm and in my life.  I will miss our weekly meetings but look forward to hearing all about your upcoming adventures.  You've been a great mentor and a good friend.  I wish you the best in all future paths brother.

Doug, throughout the years you have always been a contributing reason for the department’s success.  You made a difference to me and I suspect all that are still here or since long gone, that had the pleasure to work with you. You leave a legacy of commitment, strong work ethic and service to others that sets an example for the next generation of DLA IT stars. We are all excited for you in your next phase and know you're just getting started.  God Speed D²

Who said you get to leave!????
Doug - what a fantastic tenure here.  You were always the consummate pro, a good sailor, and a great colleague. If we awarded medals you'd have a chest full. (Including Lease Returns of Honor and Memes of Commendation) You will be missed.

Doug,
It seems like yesterday when I got the call from you then walked in for an interview at the GrayCary office on Mass Ave. Thank you for taking a shot with me. It has made for a career I could not have hoped for. From employee, to peer to friend we have shared a lot over the last 17 years. I am have conflicted feelings. Sad to see you go, but happy knowing you will have more time with those who bring you the most joy in life. Enjoy the grand babies. If you ever get lonely... and miss filling out trackers just drop us a line :) We would love to hear from you. Finally thank you for your service to our country. I wish you Fair Winds and Following Seas.

Doug - such a pleasure to have worked with you for these almost nine past years.  You have always been there for me as I've navigated the waters of trying to meet the needs of our internal customers.  Many times you were my 'go to' person and you never failed to reach back out and be supportive and helpful.  I will miss your humor.  Thanks for being a friend.  I am so happy you are getting to move closer to your kids and grandkids and start the next chapter, one I know you have been looking forward to spending more time at.  May you get to do all of the things that working fulltime did not allow, and enjoy your life to the fullest.  You will be missed.  Kind regards,

Jennifer Beckey
