DEPARTMENT ORDER # 3, 2024-2024 Passing of Br. Douglas K. Fidler, PhD, PDC
1. It is my sad duty to report the passing of Brother Douglas K. Fidler, PHD, Past Department Commander. He was a Life Member of the Order
2. Br. Doug was a member of McTeer Camp #39 until it closed a few years ago. While in that Camp he served in many roles, including Camp Commander. In recent years, he had transferred to National Member at Large and relocated to New Hampshire.
3. He also served our Department well, filling many roles from 2009-2015. He served as our Department Commander in 2011-12.
4. A proud United States Air Force Veteran, Br. Doug promoted the ROTC Award throughout East Tennessee
5. Br. Doug was instrumental in the establishment of Camps-at-Large overseas. He was a member of Ensign John Davis Camp UK.
6. We will miss Br. Doug. His love of New Hampshire (and the accent to back it up!) His passion and dedication to the Order. And mostly the fraternity we shared.
7. With the passing of our beloved brother, I order the Department Charter, all Camp Charters and Membership Badges to be draped in black. Please keep Br. Fidler’s family and friends, and community in your prayers and thoughts. He will be sincerely missed by all.
8. This order shall remain in effect for thirty days.
So ordered this 24th day of April, 2024
