Doug wore a tie to work just about every day for 27 years. After he died, his co-workers held a faux retirement party for him. I brought the ties along, and offered them to his friends. Here is a note I received afterwards, along with a group photo.
"Several of us at DEP proudly wore our “Z” ties yesterday in memory of Doug. I have three Z ties and selected a red one to wear as it was a bit more festive than the other two. When I got to work I examined the tie I was wearing and noticed it has a juice stain on it – a true mark of authenticity! When I mentioned it to others, they too found subtle indications of food or drink, and two people even price tags still on theirs. We all felt his presence."
